MigraDoc: How do I add preceding spaces to a String?

Question

I have a table of text data and I'd like to indent certain pieces of data by a couple spaces, but everything I try seems to result in my string being automatically trimmed, and the preceding spaces are deleted. The PDF as it is right now looks something like this:

So for example, I'd like to indent 'LiabilityOne' and 'LiabilityTwo' a bit. I've tried adding spaces in the String as it's rendered. Adding spaces before it's rendered, using '\x020' in hopes that'd stick and using PadLeft(String.Length + 2, ' '), all with no luck.

Certainly there is a way I can just add some preceding spaces to these strings. How can I do it?

Edit:

Context -- This is the method that generates the content for the second half of the table on the right. Everything else is very similar.

    _PdfRowsFSRight += 8;
}

To get more than one adjacent spaces with MigraDoc, simply use non-breaking spaces (press Alt+<255>).
