You might use string methods .rjust() or .center() instead of method
.ljust().

Maybe you might solve this if you decode your string to unicode.
Example:
|>>> euro = "€"
|>>> len(euro)
|3
|>>> u_euro = euro.decode('utf_8')
|>>> len(u_euro)
|1
Adapt the encoding ('utf_8' in my example) to whatever you use.
Or create the unicode string directly:
|>>> u_euro = u'€'
|>>> len(u_euro)
|1
