evenly spaced text in xyouts [message #67784]

Hello,

I find myself stumped by this problem, but perhaps someone who
actually understands fonts might help me out?

I'm doing the following:

xyouts,.5, .5, 'abc def'
xyouts,.5, .4, 'hij klm'
xyouts,.5, .3,'123 456'

I'd like the output to the plot to line up nicely. However, no matter
what font perversion I use the characters have different widths, so
the columns dont line up.

Is there some reasonably simple way to line up the columns (ie, a font
I haven't discovered where the characters are all forced to have the
same width?)

Thanks,

Mark
