Space characters differ in Illustrator and InDesign
OS: MacOS 15.7.7 (24G720)
Illustrator-Version: 30.6
Illustrator offers the space characters Quarter, Half-quarter, Twenty-fourth, Eighth.
Using these space characters in Adobe Illustrator leads to completely different results (spacing) than in Adobe InDesign.
Is this a program error or a font error?
I would also like to see the space characters menu expanded to include the Sixth, Eighth, Quarter, Third.

The font team confirmed Illustrator is using the space glyph instead of the Unicode glyph (U+2009). Logged and will be fixed.

I’ve extracted it as a separate request so far. Voted!

That are good news, Igor, thank you. And does the font team respond to my suggestion to expand the space characters menu to include Sixth, Eighth, Quarter, Third?

That’s a great find, thanks! I’ll try to find someone who might be interested in fixing this.

Egor, i mean by width, visually.
In the meantime, I've noticed that, of the space characters available in Adobe Illustrator, only the eighth-quarter has varying widths (see attached file). -
Florian, do you mean by width, visually? Or do you mean given names that differ?
