Comment (by starlight):

 Plain spaces would work fine.  But I must say I despise, with prejudice,
 fingerprints formatted in this way.  Requires one to manually edit out the
 spaces to use it anywhere that matters.  And manual editing is well
 established to be error prone.

 Perhaps just use a very small font size.  Perhaps a clever HTML mechanism
 exists to make an object copy with a different value than what is
 displayed?  Then 1B9BA4AF... could be displayed and a right-click copy
 would pull the full value.  Or require that the full FP be retrieved on a
 minimalist page/pop-up.  Or only display the fingerprint once on a line by
 itself, emit the line on page/visual breaks and whenever it changes.
