Simple test program show this problem.

Dear Maintainer,

 I find Webkit2 with gtk3 doesn't show white spaces in rendering text plain document under locale except for "C" locale.

 I attached simple test program. If you invoke  "env LC_ALL=C ./webkit2-loadtest", white spaces are correctly shown.
However you invoke "env LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 ./webkit2-loadtest", all the white spaces are disappeared.
 And also, you can see same problem in MiniBrowser which are specified "file:///<some plain text>".

 This problem causes to disappear all the white spaces in windows of other application using webkit2,ex. evolution.

 I hope someone  will fix this bug.

 Thank you in advance.

I found Bug 197658 was reported later, it said the same problem. Finally the patch was almost released.So that this bug report should be closed.
