Thin space and hair space have wrong widths
In Indesign a hair space is a twenty fourth of an em-dash independent of the font size.
In Illustrator a hair space depends on the font size.
6pt font -> hair space is a sixth of em-dash
10pt font -> hair space is a tenth of em-dash
20pt font -> hair space is a twentieth of em-dash
40pt font -> hair space is a fortieth of em-dash
in other words: a hair space in Illustrator is always 1pt
In Indesign a thin space is an eighth of an em-dash.
In Illustrator a thin space is a fifth of an em-dash.
Indesign seams to do it the right way.
Illustrator is buggy in both cases.
