Good catch. We use the isgraph() function to test whether a
character has a printable representation, and isgraph() says that
blanks do not have a printable representation.

isspace() returns true on *all* whitespace, which besides the space
character, includes tabs and vertical tabs.

So, I decided just to check for the ' ' character as well as
the return value of isgraph().  Attached is a diff to gtk/proto_draw.c

I'll be checking the change in.

Thanks!
