Removing the msttcorefonts package with
aptitude purge msttcorefonts
did just about *nothing*. The only change was that I now see a different
font used to print Arabic script. (This suggests that the MS font
package may not be very useful, after all.)
Just to be on the safe side, I tried running fc-cache and
defoma-app update fontconfig to make sure all the font databases were
synchronized after the removal, rebooting in between these steps to
make sure I had a clean setup each time.
It appears that the MS font issue is a false lead.
The problem with spaces suggests that the font mixup involves fonts with
different encodings. If <SPACE> were replaced with some non-printing
character, you might get the runtogether text. Just a thought.
