My bad. It works when I enable `visual-line-mode'. It doesn't with
only `word-wrap' set to t.

Nothing serious. I detected zero-width spaces and noticed that emacs
can display them, so I was mislead that word wrap would handle them.

Good.

Never mind, it works. What I meant was that when, for example, I have
two adjacent parts of text with the same mouse-face property and the
mouse hovers over one of the words, the other word gets highlighted as
well. Maybe it's just stickyness or whatever, but till now I hadn't
found a method to turn this off. Not recommended for normal buffers
because `forward-char' appears to hang, but that's a different story.

OK. I take your word for it. Maybe it could be also useful for adding
soft hyphens (if we can make `forward-char' handle them).

No idea. Do we have a list of predefined character tables somewhere?

This needs an up to date display, IIUC :-(

By adding hard newlines. All I care about is to (1) show the entire
buffer text in a fixed-width window and (2) make that window as small as
possible.
