Text Formatting ⇒ Turn off French Spacing by default

[Laurentius]

Is there a way to make \nonfrenchspacing the default for a language, so you don’t have to repeat the command every time you \selectlanguage?

This should do it (assuming you're talking about babel):

Code: Select all

\addto\extras<lang>{\nonfrenchspacing}
\addto\noextras<lang>{\frenchspacing}

Thanks! How about spacefactorcodes?

Very similar, I think.

What about them? Both \frenchspacing and \nonfrenchspacing simply set space factors of punctuation marks:

Code: Select all

\meaning\frenchspacing
\meaning\nonfrenspacing

gives (if no package changes them)

Code: Select all

macro:->\sfcode ‘\.\@m \sfcode ‘\?\@m \sfcode ‘\!\@m \sfcode ‘\:\@m
\sfcode ‘\;\@m \sfcode ‘\,\@m
macro:->\sfcode ‘\.3000\sfcode ‘\?3000\sfcode ‘\!3000\sfcode ‘\:2000\sfcode
‘\;1500\sfcode ‘\,1250
