You’re welcome.

What I really wanted to do is to use a narrower space character, such as the "thin space, U+2009" which would allow much better alignment of the right margin. That character does display in LiveCode.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_character 

But that seems to require modifying the htmlText to insert that character. Maybe someone knows how to set/insert the htmlText of a character without messing with the html directly.
