The problem is that you never know what people are going
to do with the report. If they copy/paste the numbers,
the ')' will still be there.
Also if the background color of the cells isn't white,
you'll still see the ')'. It might be better to set
the rendition of the Chunk to invisible.

I like this idea. It's simple to achieve and elegant
PDF-syntax-wise: no fake characters are introduced.
Just a different positioning. I'd try this suggestion
first if I ever encountered this problem. Thanks!
