[Rd] Thin spaces

[hadley wickham]

Hi all,

I'm looking at providing some nicer number formatting features for
axes in ggplot2.  One thing I would like to do is use thin spaces to
separate digits, like you can in latex.  I realise I can use unicode
spaces to do this (e.g.
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/chars/spaces.html), but what are the
possible pitfalls.  Is this likely to work on all graphics devices
across all platforms?

Thanks,

Hadley
