Currently the first character in a line appears right after the line
number. It was possible to insert a space in linum-mode using format
strings but It is not possible to do so in display-line-numbers-mode.

No, it isn't, at least not by default.  There's a single space
character between them.

So if you see something different (try "emacs -Q" first), we will need
a recipe to reproduce what you see.

You can control the width of the line-number field, which should
provide the same functionality (if needed).  But it shouldn't be
needed.

More information was requested, but none was given within 16 weeks, so
I'm closing this bug.  If this is still an issue, please reply to this
email (use "Reply to all" in your email client) and we can reopen the
bug report.

Best regards,
