Description of problem:
Space and punctuation characters are not rendered monospaced for ASCII text 
in Firefox or Thunderbird for East Asian locale.

It is hard to read ASCII mail in a Chinese encoding
since the space character used is too narrow.

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
0. install fonts-chinese
1. open for example
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/eula.txt
2. View -> Character Encoding -> More Encodings -> East Asia -> Traditional
Chinese (Big5)
3. look at spacing between words
  
Actual results:
Space character is only 4 pixels wide compared to 10 pixels for other ascii
characters

Expected results:
Space character to be at least of comparable width to other characters.

All ASCII should be rendered correctly monospaced.

Additional info:
Turning off pango with MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 works around the problem.
I am filing this under firefox since it seems to be a moz pango issue,
though it affects thunderbird more seriously.
