I've heard a few times in my life that when it comes to French typesetting it's often the case that one adds a thin space between things like "«" and the word, or even between "L'A". If so, how often does this happen, and does it typically happen automatically in word processing situations? Is there anything on the font features side or kerning that is expected there specifically for French?
