Since the current CG Journal is still "in progress", another article is welcome!
Thank you for this offer. As I don’t like half-measures, I really want to do it well, so I’m going to need a lot of time to collect historical as well as recent examples, quotations, etc. and to write this article. Unfortunately, I am pretty busy right now and probably won’t have time to start before March.

: Exactly. And this is precisely the thin space still required in French publications. The main disagreement among French typographs (about twenty years ago, at least) was about the fixed vs relative width of this thin space : put in TeX’s terms, should it be proportional to the glue or to the font ?
I think I’d better write an article about this, with quotes and visual examples. Since the current CG Journal is still "in progress", another article is welcome!
Best, Hraban
