I tried this out in 5.02. There is definitely an improvment but it still
isn't lined up fully. Is there some reason not to use an html table around
the data tables so that these formatting problems are not an issue for
multi-byte languages?
The only con I can think of would be the potential size of the html file and
therefore render time if you have a large data set. I may just write a
post-processing formatting script that looks for the <pre><tt> combo to
format in a table.

OK, this is substantially improved in version 5.02 which I have just
released. Now they will align properly if your Japanese font in <pre>
sections has characters exactly twice as wide as ASCII characters. This
is browser and font dependent; but even when it doesn't hold, the output
should be more nearly aligned.
