Isn't it still Adobe's policy not to map individual glyphs to more than 
one character, in order to facilitate Acrobat text reconstruction? If 
both U+0020 and U+00A0 map to a single /space/ glyph, one loses the 
distinction between breaking and non-breaking spaces in text 
reconstructed from printstream distilled PDFs. [This isn't something 
that bothers me; but it is historically something that bothers Adobe.]

Getting Spiekermann to not like Helvetica is like training
a cat to stay out of water. But I'm impressed that people
know who to ask when they want to ask someone to not like
Helvetica. That's progress. -- David Berlow
