I just checked the copy of the font I have in fontforge, and the glyph
metrics are the same for those two characters. So you are indeed
getting what the font-designed intended for the advance of a space.
If you want better spacing do (as David suggests) what TeX does: ignore
the space glyph entirely and place each word where you prefer.
