The code given just after produces extra unwanted spaces indicated in the following picture. How can I fix it ?
Sorry for the colors, this choices will be changed later when technical issues will be solved.

You have several spurious spaces in your input. Your dramatic indentation does not help in finding them.
How to find them? You see that end-of-lines where options are set (but apparently not when they are
pgfoptions) are ignored (better, the spaces are stripped off). Conversely, end-of-lines are not ignored when something is to be typeset.See, for example, your original
There are spurious spaces in lines 1 and 4. There were others: check for differences.
I've changed the code for the quotes, to make it more straight.
