The standard font for BM messaging is variable width, and there appears to be no current support for table or pre tags in the editor. I would like to request some form of formatting support. Either one of the aforementioned tags would be nice or even a tag for a single invisible pixel. Since the space character takes 4 pixels, my columns can be off by as much as a jarring 2 pixels. Currently, if I have enough space, I can throw in a mix of • (6 pixels) and ² (5 pixels) to even things out, but I'm sure my scribe would prefer that his formatted reports be more aesthetically pleasing.

I can think of a few reasons, most of them involving banking.

In this particular instance, it was a compendium of scout notes to give an overview of strength and potential strength going into a battle.
