I've dug a bit deeper:

It seems that the useDrawChar()  case is used wMode is off.

A few lines down I see a line that tries to specal handle space as '
', but in this case it appers as 0, so I have adjusted it to this:

        if (n == 1 && (*p == ' ' || *p == 0)) {

However, the call to   state->getWordSpace() still returns 0 as width,
so it doesn't help. :-(

Is there a better way to find the width of a space character?
