If you could use something besides SPC that was visually undistracting
enough to not be a problem, you could use that as alternative to the SPC
character. However, it seems certain that you couldn't use the _same_
character as the `SPC alternative' for both `*' and '%' (the width `*'
often seems to be quite narrow, whereas the width of `%' is often very
wide), so this might lead to having a very confusing jumble of
cryptic-looking characters...
No, I don't have practical experience with fonts nowadays.
It was on other systems, in the past, that I noticed many
punctuation characters typically had similar widths.
If there are no suitable alternatives for * and % today, perhaps the
best thing to do is double them and put them inside parens, and leave
them at the end. That would make them more visible, which I think is
the aim.
If the suggestion to display them with a foreground that matches
the background can actually be implemented, that could be good.
Then they could go at the front and everything could be aligned.
