appearance comb textfield: problem with spaces

Hello all,
I forward a problem that is reported on the Planet PDF forum.
An original PDF file (printfield) has some text fields with the comb option.
When filled using iTextSharp, this results in printfieldmodified.pdf.
When Adobe Reader creates the appearance, everything looks OK (I think),
but the appearance created by iText(Sharp)
(snippet: BT 1 0 0 1 2 5.73 Tm /Cour 12 Tf 0 g (SURNAME FORENAME)Tj 0 g ET )
acts weird: it looks like the space character has a negative advance.
How could this be solved?
br,
Bruno
