??? What exactly did you try? You need to have a TAB before and after each '|' that's between the cells (the outer ones do not need a TAB). Like this (you should see this correctly in Emacs 24.1; move cursor with C-f to see the logical order): | אבגד | הוזחטי | Isn't this what you wanted? As for the display properties, replace the TABs in the example above with something like this: (insert (propertize " " '(display (space :align-to 10)))) The number 10 should be the column where you want the "|" separator to be aligned. For the replacement of the second TAB, increment the value to get the desired alignment of the text of the second cell.
