Glyph width of U+2423 OPEN BOX '␣'

[mashabow]

This is a suggestion to change the glyph width of U+2423 OPEN BOX ␣.

U+2423 is often used to visualize U+0020 SPACE, e.g.:

インデントはスペース4つにしてください。

for glyph in font:
␣␣␣␣if not glyph.name:
␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣glyph.name = 'NoName'

In Source Han Code JP, however, the glyph width of U+2423 is 1000 units, while that of U+0020 is 667 units.

I suggest to change its width from 1000 units to 667 units.

On a somewhat related note, would it be useful to add a half-width version of U+2423 (uni2423-HW) to Source Han Sans to accompany half-width ASCII + yen + won (uni0020-HW through uni007E-HW + uni00A5-HW + uni20A9-HW)? These would be accessible via the 'hwid' GSUB feature or via the "HW" versions of the fonts.

OK, I will add that to my note for the next update.

I changed the advance of U+2423 OPEN BOX ␣ from 1000 units to 667 unites on version 2.010.
