People who start using word processors who are used to only typewriters or text editors get in trouble trying to do their alignment using spaces. They ignore the proper facilities for aligning proportional text. Presumably if we started using proportional fonts to convey more information in programs there would be corresponding tools for programmer editors. I would hope most of the alignment would be automatic. Programmers waste far too much time fiddling around with such minutiae an aligning Java text is some personal anally retentive way. -- Available for tutoring, problem solving or contract programming for $50 US per hour or fixed price.
