U+0009 TAB will never appear in any output because it must be translated to some position defined in paragraph style properties (in a document processor, contrary to a text editor, tab stops are not necessarily evenly spaced).Īnyway, this doesn’t solve the problem with any non-personally produced PDF. So, perhaps, forcing the paragraph styles to left alignment could cause spaces to be rendered as U+0020 SPACE but I didn’t check that.
