In the example below, multiple spaces do not use the spacing of the fallback font for multiple spaces, but instead of the main font it seems, despite the ASCII U+0020 being in the forced override. So the question is how to force ConTeXt to use the fallback font also for multiple spaces. Hi Hans,

Hello,

what are you trying to do?

Using monospace to make some computer code stand out as such. It would suffice with select portions, though, like some keywords.

Sorry, but I’m afraid that ConTeXt doesn’t spaces as glyphs.

Right, but for a monospace font in verbatim mode, one might expect it. Maybe there should be a monospace option for the fallback.

Would it be easier that you use a proper mono font for typing?

Do you have any suggestions? —There is no such font covering the several thousands of glyphs used in math, and I am not sure it would help readability. Monospace somehow got popular for code in the ASCII range.
