    Eli> I'm not sure I understand what you have in mind, please elaborate.

Instead of this in xdisp.c:23046

  strcat (lnum_buf, " ");

use the equivalent of

(setq line-number-space-width 0.5)
(insert (propertize " " 'display '(space . line-number-space-width)))

and adjusting the x-coordinate of the glyphs after the space
appropriately.
