If I understand this right, you're trying to make proportional fonts "line
up" like non-proportional (or fixed font, like courrier) fonts.

I wouldn't describe it like that, because either you're talking about
something that is literally impossible, in the sense that 2=7 is
impossible, or something where proportional or nonproportional isn't
really relevant to the fundamental issue (though it just so happens
that nonproportional is easier to calculate).

Why not generate the report as HTML?

OK, this is usually not a bad idea, if it's an available option...

(or XML, JSON that can be styled into HTML)

I don't even understand what you mean by this. How are XML or JSON relevant?
