Polyglossia seems to support it. Here is the relevant excerpt from my log: ) (/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/xelatex/polyglossia/gloss-french.ldf File: gloss-french.ldf polyglossia: module for french \french@punctthin=\XeTeXintercharclass5 \french@punctthick=\XeTeXintercharclass6 \french@punctguillstart=\XeTeXintercharclass7 \french@punctguillend=\XeTeXintercharclass8 ) Package polyglossia Info: Default language is french. I also get the whitespace when switching to babel. The frenchb manual documents many changes in favour of XeTeX in recent versions, including whitespace at guillemets. So it might indeed be a question of the used package version. Jürgen
