Hey,
this is not a question about the development of GTK+, but about using GTK+
for app development - gtk-app-devel-list is a better place for this, so
moving there.

That is beccause terminals usually use monospace fonts, that is every
character takes up the same width. So using a fixed character could for
alignment works in that context ...

... while it doesn't in contexts where variable-width fonts are used (where
for example "l" and "i" take up less width than "m" and "w").

One option is to set custom tab stops with gtk_text_view_set_tabs(), and
then append '\t' to each string on the left instead of setting a character
width.
