Before all this, check whether you are using a proportional font.  A
non-proportional font like Courier (typical typewriter typeface) has all
letters the same width.  A proportional font (almost all TrueType or
other fonts) has characters of varying widths, so that i and w, for
example, are very different widths, especially if they are san serif (no
added bars to fill in the gaps that are otherwise obvious with a
non-proportional font.  This varying width destroys the column
alignment.  So, if you are using a TrueType font, use Courier New or
similar.
