It is true, possibly. If you are using a proportionally spaced font
different characters will occuy different widths. You a probably 
spaces to align your text (other than single spaces between words).
If you use a proportionally spaced font, use only tabs to align text.
If you want to use spaces to align text, use only fixed pitch fonts,
such as courier or prestige elite. Times Roman and Helvetica, etc. are
proportional fonts. Another way to check on this is to do a View
Document (Shft-F7, V).
