strings to have equal lengths


I have to add several strings to a listbox.
add str1 & str2
add str3 & str4 (new line)
.....

the strings str1 and str2 have different lengths and i want that the
strings str2 and str4 are aligned in the listbox
I tried to add spaces to shorter strings to have the same lengths for
str1 and str2 but there is no alignment for str2 and str4
Take the spaces more place then other chars or is the fontsize importent?
And what can I do?
Thanks for any response

Sorry,
But I find that the font Courier New makes the job.
Maybe there are other solutions?

No there is no other way as using a ( monospace ) fixed width font like
Courier , Courier new , Comic sans , Andale mono , Fixedsys etc etc etc

Thanks for the information but the solution with the monospace is likely
the most simple, so I use it
