I want to have a table in a listbox. The table looks someting like

Itemname1	759	  79	7484
Itemname2	 45 	 121	 344
 etc etc etc

I want to have the numbers right aligned, but I'd rather not use a fixed
font. Can this be done? How?

Use owner draw listboxes, and draw your numbers there yourself, right
justified.

I don't have the details on hand right now, but here is what I
know off the top of my head.

You can give the listbox the OWNERDRAWN style.  This style
causes an application supplied callback routine to be
called to render each item in the list box.  You can then
format the items any way you want.

This may not be the solution you're looking for, but it
should work.
