But now I think it is not a perfect solution since it will remove by mistake some meaningful spaces. For example, in an English/Chinese mixed texts whereas lines are sometimes broken at between two English words, which is often the case when we fill graphs with m-q. Discerning meaningful and meaningless spaces for Chinese and Japanese is rather too complicated a topic. Chinese rarely use spaces for separating words, Japanese sometimes use spaces for separating syntax elements. Korean, by my instinct at staring on Korean scripts, does use spaces to separate words.
