Hi,
I don't think this is a Docbook 5 issue, but an
issue with the XSL-FO processor. You might take a peek inside the
generated .fo file to see if your narrow space character is there. If so,
then the XSL stylesheet is working and the XSL-FO processor is not handling
it. What XSL-FO processor are you using? The FOP processor included
with Oxygen?
There are a lot of space characters in Unicode (see
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/SpecialChars.html#SpecialSpaces),
and not all XSL-FO processors handle all of them. It may be that some
processors expect to find the character in the current font.

narrow non-breaking spaces before punctuation marks
Thanks!
Do you know whether I can get a narrower one ?
The *narrow* non-breaking space (http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/202f/index.htm)
seems not to work with docbook5.

Hello,
I don't know if oXygen provides a shortcut,
but in DocBook 5 you have to
insert the unicode character for non
breaking space, that is   in
the XML code.
HTH,
Camille.
