How about adding a Chunk to the end of a positive number that contains a ")"
character and make the font.color = color.white?
That way the "padding" at the end would always be exactly the same as the
"}" that shows for the negative numbers.
If you are putting these numbers in a PdfPTable, you could use two different
PdfPCell's with different padding for the right to offset a positive number.

Bruno or Paulo:
How can one format negative numbers by enclosing them in parentheses instead
of preceding them with a minus sign? I am using iText to generate Financial
Reports and the decimal points of both positive and negative numbers must
line up when they are displayed in the same column. How can I format
negative numbers with parentheses and still have their decimal points line
up with those of positive numbers in the same columns? I have tried adding
a space (" ") to the end of positive numbers, but it seems to get stripped
from the pdf document. Any ideas?
