Compiling with polyglossia, there's extra space before the year in the \today command:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{norsk}
\begin{document}
\today
7. desember 2016
\end{document}
This does not happen when compiling with babel:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[main = norsk]{babel}
\begin{document}
\today
7. desember 2016
\end{document}
Why does this happen? Bug? How can I fix it?
There is a spurious space in gloss-norsk.ldf:
\def\datenorsk{%
\def\today{\number\day.~\ifcase\month\or
januar\or februar\or mars\or april\or mai\or juni\or
juli\or august\or september\or oktober\or november\or desember
\fi\space\number\year}%
}
There is no % after desember, which makes for an additional space when the current month is December.
Temporary fix: add
\def\datenorsk{%
\def\today{\number\day.~\ifcase\month\or
januar\or februar\or mars\or april\or mai\or juni\or
juli\or august\or september\or oktober\or november\or desember%
\fi\space\number\year}%
}
in the preamble.
