Created attachment 412634 [details] Visual comparison between monospace Blink/WebKit space rendering. Safari/WebKit doesn't fall back to another font from a monospace font for uncommon space characters, i.e. there's only regular space, zero-width space, and a (wide) ideographic space. See attachment for the difference between Chrome/Blink and Safari/WebKit. A related issue might be "[LFC][IFC] Add support for zero-width-space character (U+200B)" https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205586
