Now the problem is should 1/4 of a space be rounded up or down ;)

BTW found http://rondinet.free.fr/docs_fr_typo/fqblanc1.html where is a
definition of caradin, but in French. And the only thing I understand
from it is "En anglais, <I>em</I>." Which is exactly what is said as a
response to the mail in the first link.

I didn't say no ;) Just your link was in a language I don't know, so I
found some I can understand.

On my system it's man 7 groff, about 2/3 of the file (along with many
\char things). It was The best I could find (but I'm not a troff expert.
Not even intermediate). There also is \~, it is inbreakable, but it
streches like a normal space, so is wrong here.
And please, not ALL spaces ;) Leave normal between words ;)
