Not even numbers? Also, does \d+ in Grep not work without line breaks?

Isn't that weird?

I should have used ideographic null (hitting a space directly on the keyboard) instead of full-width character null (em en Ctrl+Shift+M/N).
The combination of full-width character blanks and numbers will disable number line feeds.

I see what looks like a right-indent tab, but what character are you inserting between numbers? Are those em spaces?

What character is inserted after the 62? An ideographic space?

Why set type this way?

Yes, @Mike Witherell, you're right - those are Em spaces.

 

@dublove - you have it as a one long word...

 

After changing to "regular" spaces:

Cześć Robert,

The interesting side detail that captures my interest is how the whitespace characters look different between Layout View versus Story Editor mode. Both the right-indent tab and the em space icons look a bit different in the two modes.

I wonder why that would be?

@Mike Witherell 

 

Probably because of two different fonts?

Hi Robert,

In your screenshot, you see it too. In Story editor, the symbolic character representing (I guess) an Em space shows a flat line with a dot under it; yet the dot is floating to the right side of the dash above it. In layout view, the symbolic character representing an Em Space shows the flat line with a dot centered under it.

 

I was just wondering why the difference in appearance? I have never seen that before.

Is it something special from the Japanese version of InDesign?

What does em mean?
All-angle null?
I need it, not the English space.

What does em mean?

 

Hi @dublove , Most fonts include multiple space character options—see Type>Insert White Space. The type designer chooses the width of each space character—an em space is generally the width of the font’s uppercace M.
