Thanks to all of you for underlining my confusion between non-breaking spaces and fixed-length spaces. Thanks to DNSB above for pointing me in the right direction of “fine non-breaking spaces” before some French (European) punctuation.

For the sake of completeness and further reference to French rules, I found the following resources (albeit in French only) of particular interest:
