I'm working on a project that requires using a single glyph font to replace the space (unicode 0020) in flow text with a special character. I've got this working beautifully in IE9+, Firefox and Safari, but Chrome is not behaving. Opera looks the same as Chrome but I don't have to support it.
I have a webfont, made using Font Squirrel in the usual way, which just defines unicode 0020 (the space) and I use it in a stack like this:
font-family:'My Replacement Space', arial, sans-serif;
In all the browsers that work, the space is replaced and all the other characters are rendered using arial (or sans-serif) as a fallback. In Chrome, Arial is used throughout and the spaces remain blank.
Anyone recall anything buggy relating to Chrome and something like this?
Many thanks!
