I've tried using different kind of spaces, but at least with the Cybook and whatever font I was trying at the moment I could only get:

a) normal spaces: line break possible, stretchable when justified.

b) non-breaking spaces: line break forbidden, constant width.

Other kinds of spaces (thin, zero-width, etc.) would either be displayed as one of the above or as some kind of "error" symbol, like a rectangle, a "?", or whatever.

PS. Now that I think of it, that might have been before I fixed a problem I was having with html2mobi, regarding the preservation of non-breaking spaces... But I think I tried with HTML files too.
