So while waiting for a response I did end up writing some code to make the string lengths the same by padding the smaller one with leading spaces. Sigh, now it's apparent that the font used by Virtuoso isn't a fixed width thing, so I can't get my text to align vertically like I want once everything is right justified using this technique. Doh! I rummaged around in the default font selections for notes and labels and I did find a fixed width font (called "fixed") but it's ridiculously widely spaced between characters to the extent it's effectively unusable. In fact, aside from the normal "stick" font (which isn't fixed width), the rest of the available font choices are all awful and virtually useless (IMHO). Are there any other font selections out there, and if so what happens if you share a schematic with somebody who doesn't have that font installed? Sorry for sounding so grumbly. It's almost 2:30am here and I've been trying to make this work for a few hours already.
