Which Linux Version (or Distribution) for IBM...

My comment was solely about how a given text looks when displayd in a
window or terminal. The problem with spaces before question marks is
that it might cause the question mark to appear in the next line when
lines are re-wrapped.

I do not know whether one typically puts a space before a question mark
in German or not (althaugh I live in Berlin), but I do know that a text
with spaces before question marks can be hard to read.

For example, take the above paragraph, formatted with spaces after last
words:

I do not know whether one typically puts a space before a question mark
in German or not (althaugh I live in Berlin) , but I do know that a text
with spaces before question marks can be hard to read .

Copy the text in a resizeable window (a newsreader or text editor or
something like that) and reduce the size of the window so that the line
with containing "altaugh I live in Berlin" is wrapped exactly after the
")", and you will see what I mean.
