I forgot :

actual solution for letters to much on the right, is to 
put two spaces just after and it's ok, for example :

for :
        jerome
        
I have to use :        

        je  rome
        
and then it's displayed correctly in the PDF as "jerome"

this sucks as a solution, unfortunately
