Narrow non-breaking space (NNBSP) not showing up #1

Closed yaaax closed 7 months ago

Method FormData#getFormattedTime uses narrow non-breaking space.

Is UTF-8 encoding working with iText 8 ? (see iText PdfEncodings)
Currently we use PdfEncodings.IDENTITY_H (Unicode for horizontal writing) as mentioned in article Showing special characters

See:

FormData#getFormattedTime https://github.com/DISIC/generate-pdf-example/blob/aeaa49511e5d99a8962e4adc4ceb52db991497f1/src/main/java/fr/gouv/numerique/design/generatepdfexample/FormData.java#L201
Encoding in PdfCreatorManual#createDocument https://github.com/DISIC/generate-pdf-example/blob/aeaa49511e5d99a8962e4adc4ceb52db991497f1/src/main/java/fr/gouv/numerique/design/generatepdfexample/PdfCreatorManual.java#L45

Origin of issue found: the Marianne font files do not include the NNBSP character. Waiting for a fix from SIG.
