Some?

A proportional W is typcally four times wider than i.
A space is usually about half as wide as a digit. Often
digits are made the same width, but that's little help.

There's *no* *way* you can align columns in proportional
text with spaces. But perhaps you should try hard, so
that you remember the ordeal the next time. You'll never
forget that, I promise! ;)
