I suspect that subbu's problem comes from using spaces, rather than tabs,
to align tabular material. Use tabs. That's why it's called tabular, in
fact. Spaces will only print correctly if you're using a monospaced font
such as Monaco or Courier, and the VAST majority of fonts on the Mac are
proportionally spaced. Things may (or may not) look okay on screen with
prop. fonts, but they certainly won't print correctly if you use spaces
instead of tabs.
