There are two ways. As stated previously, set the number of decimal
places
and right align. This would work if a mono space font is used.
Mono-spaced fonts are not necesary. Generally all fonts use equal width
for
digits. Test and see.
I have tested that so many times, but just for you I did it again now:
Dejavu Sans – Yes, works fine, but the font is very ugly in my opinion…
Free Sans – Works fine too, looks much better than Dejavu too.
Liberation Sans – ”1” 8 times has approximately the same width as ”2” 7
times.
Arial – ”1” 8 times has approximately the same width as ”2” 7 times.
So avoid Arial and Liberation Sans (and probably some more fonts) and
you'll be fine…
I didn't try any Serif fonts, since I hate them anyway.
