Besides the old SavvyPC software does anyone know of Forth systems
either with
fuzzy dictionary searches or that allow the use of spaces in word names?

What do you mean by fuzzy? Regexp dictionary searching?
Unorthodoxly organized namespaces?
As for spaces in names, I once extended CREATE to replace _underscores
by spaces in the header. That was the simplest way.

Gforth can have any character in word names, including spaces.
However, you cannot use the usual parsing words for dealing with such
words, but have to pass the string on the stack. E.g.,:
s" a b" nextname create ok
words
a b disasm disassembler base-addr show-name default-32bit default-16bit
...
s" a b" find-name .s <1> 1075487920 ok
name>int execute . 1075487944 ok

It is very bad idea. If you wish such a thing, choose the code
for it <=7F, do not touch anything from 80...FF range.

What's the fuzzy dictionary search for? So the Forth will accept
misspelled words? That would be great, given the spelling proficiency
of the typical programmer. You could pop up a "Did you mean this?"
message instead of aborting with "???".
I think SEARCH-WORDLIST and FIND don't care about spaces, but putting
spaced names in a wordlist looks implementation dependent.

Since DOS ignores parity, $7F and $FF are the same in essence. It is an
escape sequence in some text processors. In HTML, .
