However, if I use XeTeX's default Computer Modern typewriter font by
means
of the \ttfamily macro, without loading fontspec, then the spaces
scale
and are not stretchable by default; it's resetting the fontdimens on
every
size change but that's not a problem because the defaults are correct.
Loading fontspec causes it to use Latin Modern and we're back where we
started.
XeTeX' Computer Modern default is actually Latin Modern. Without
fontspec it loads the PostScript variants of Computer Modern. Latin
Modern is constructed as an OpenType font, PostScript based, to act
exactly like CM.
A fix is desirable – have you tested zhspacing
(http://code.google.com/p/zhspacing/)? Maybe it has a solution for
you...
The "everysel" package seems to be the best fit so far. zhspacing
may be
useful for other reasons, but it seems its main purpose is for
controlling
the spacing within runs of CJK text, where interword spaces aren't
used
anyway. The issue I'm facing involves interword spaces in segments of
English in a mixed document. I also couldn't get zhspacing to load at
first attempt - it seems to require a Chinese font called SimSun
which I
don't have - but it may be possible to configure it to use something
else.
This SimSun is an MS Windows font. I've seen free variants. The Latin
glyphs have serifs, the Chinese glyphs could be Song.
