Issue Summary
The German (and probably other languages’) typographical rules demand that a half-space is used in abbreviations. E. g., the space between the period after “E” should be a half-space. In HTML, this could be rendered as unicode THIN SPACE (#8201). As this is a not non-breaking character, the whole abbreviation should optionally be wrapped with white-space:nowrap
I am building a input filter for a customer right now that adds the above refinements to his drupal site. Is someone working on implementing this within the Typogrify project? If not, I can offer a patch as soon as I’m done here.

#1
Half-space is used by Persian and Arabic users.
This is an old topic, I am not sure whether you have implement half-space in this module or not?
I don't see this feature in Typogrify feature list. Does anyone aware of this issue?

I haven't heard of anyone working on this, so a patch would be most welcome – although it should be an optional feature.

The module for Wordpress is available:

Hope to see it in Drupal soon.
