MC-258926Space is no longer treated as padding in fonts
In the "chars" list of any "bitmap" type provider, the space is no longer recognized as a padding character.
Prior to 1.19, either a U+0020 SPACE or the unicode escape \u0000 was allowed as a "blank" character in the string elements of the "chars" array. These padding characters would be skipped over; ignored.
Now, the space is instead interpreted as a real bitmap character, and will generate a flood of warnings for every space padding character when loading a font.
This is likely not intentional because when the "chars" list is uneven, the current messages say specifically to use space or \u0000, not just \u0000:
[Worker-Main-12/WARN]: Unable to load font 'minecraft:default' in fonts.json in resourcepack: 'file/Space padding font' com.google.gson.JsonParseException: Elements of chars have to be the same length (found: 46, expected: 2), pad with space or \u0000
Now, in 1.19+, when loading a font that uses spaces as padding, thousands of
[Worker-Main-15/WARN]: Codepoint '20' declared multiple times in minecraft:textures/font/ascii.png
are generated in the latest.log.
This is likely a problem left over from the implementation of the "space" provider in 1.19.
This problem does not occur in 1.18.3 or lower.

This issue is hard to understand.
The issue is clearly explained, but due to the nature of the problem, it uses a ton of technical terms. If you're not familiar with the terms, that does not mean it is badly explained.
Confirmed with the provided resource pack.
Only \u0000 can be used for padding, updated log message
