<pre>The font is really broken. It provides a symbol “cmap” subtable that does not
have a mapping for space character. Since the font does not support the space
character as far as we are concerned we use a fallback font for it, and it will
most likely have a different width.
I don’t know how other office applications are handling this, one possible
explanation is that they are not doing any font fallback for fonts with symbol
“cmap” subtable, which in turn will cause them to use the glyph for unsupported
characters (glyph 0) which happens to be a white (empty) square in this font.
This also why this font works in Scribus since it does not do any fallback for
missing characters. I tried AbiWord but it gave me similar rendering as
LibreOffice.</pre>
