If you want to highlight only hard (i.e., no-break) spaces, and
not also hard hyphens, or if you want font-lock to control the
highlighting, then you can use library `highlight-chars.el'.
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ShowWhiteSpace#HighlightChars
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-en/download/highlight-chars.el
You can turn on/off such highlighting:
* in the current buffer only (i.e., locally),
* globally whenever FontLockMode is turned on, or
* automatically whenever a buffer is in a given major mode
