Multi line text keeps spaces at the end of lines which makes center alignment off-center

Bug Report

I have a box image I am rendering to a PDF and I am attempting to render some multi-line text which renders within that box and is centered. The first line of this text on the generated pdf has a space at the end which I believe is what is affecting the alignment of the text. Initially I observed that the text is slightly left of center and I believe that this space at the end of the line may be what is causing it. I can confirm the existence of the space character by highlighting that area of the pdf

Description of the problem

align:center on multiline is a little bit off to the left potentially due to spaces at the end of lines

I found a pull request that seems like it would fix the issue

Any reason for this to not be merged in?

EDIT:

That PR may fix it for some. It does not help me due to the trailing whitespace causing line wrapping when it shouldnt

I confirm this issue still exists using latest version (0.11.0).

Here's a dirty but simple fix I came up with:

const text = "Lorem Ipsum"; // The text you want align right

const textWidth = 200; // The width of the text you want align right

const spaceCharWidth = this.pdf.widthOfString(" "); // Get the space character width

const rightTextWidth = textWidth + spaceCharWidth; // Get the right text width, taking the space character into account

So, rightTextWidth is the right width to "ignore" the trailing space at the end of each line.

I hope this can help someone in the future.
