AFAIU, the code needs the width of the space character of a font used
to show some text, is that correct?
And the patch solves the problem of font-at by pretending that the
relevant text is displayed in the current window, is that correct?
Alternatives to the solution in the patch are:
. temporarily display the buffer in some window (if there is already
a window showing the buffer, use with-selected-window)
. use buffer-text-pixel-size or string-pixel-width to measure the
width of a string of a single SPC character
. use the font obtained from (face-font 'default) (or the actual face
of the text, if you can get at it easily), like this:
(aref (font-info (face-font 'default)) 10)
