Assuming the problem is in the device's typography, one way I can think of is to use a larger space before and after italics, such as an M space or an N space. Here are some examples using the same string as above:
  • M space: The expression ( 'abc' )
  • N space: The expression ( 'abc' )
  • Normal space: The expression ( 'abc' )
Another possibility: sometimes a rendering engine treats non-breaking spaces differently from standard spaces, not changing their widths when it would change the width of a normal space.

This site discusses unicode (and thus HTML) space characters.

Of course I might be entirely wrong and the problem is elsewhere.
