How do I keep information being output by conky properly spaced/indented
for example, some of the output looks like this...
firefox-bin 1123 2344 3929
moc 2314 2334 4556
urxvt 4322 3456 2345
I want it to look like this (organized in nice columns)...
firefox-bin.......1123....2334....3929
moc................2314....2334....4556
urxvt...............4322....3456....2345 |

Use a monospace font.

There are alignc and alignr variables you can use. Here is an example from my conkyrc
| Code: | ${color #ffffff}NAME ${alignr}PID CPU%
${color #ffffff}${top name 1} ${alignr}${top pid 1} ${top cpu 1}
${color #ffffff}${top name 2} ${alignr}${top pid 2} ${top cpu 2}
${color #ffffff}${top name 3} ${alignr}${top pid 3} ${top cpu 3}
${color #ffffff}${top name 4} ${alignr}${top pid 4} ${top cpu 4}
${color #ffffff}${top name 5} ${alignr}${top pid 5} ${top cpu 5} |
Thats from the CPU section and this is what it looks like:

Thanks, but I'm using monospace already.
