Description Behdad Esfahbod 2010-08-30 21:12:52 UTC 
As reported on gtk-i18n-list:

2. When letterspacing is increased, the ZWNJ (U+200C, required for German words such as "Zeit‌zone" 'time zone' that must not hava a tz-ligature) triggers double letterspacing as if it were a zero-width character. The ZWNJ should only inhibit ligatures, but it should not affect the letterspacing. Of course, fonts use a zero-width glyph for the ZWNJ. The text renderer, however, must be instructed to disregard the ZWNJ glyph when it comes to letterspacing.

The non-Pango Firefox on Mac OS X already does that.

More information, examples and screenshots can be found on the following page: http://unifraktur.sourceforge.net/letterspacing.html#letterspacing_support-note1

And thanks to Behdad for filing this bug!
