If your printer accepts it, you can use a constant-width font
in which all characters have the same width - this is used typically
when including example of programs since the output looks much
more like that which would be produced on a line-printer. The command
	.ft CW
changes to this font, if it is mounted.
Alternatively, the request .cs can be used to set a constant
character width, where you specify yourself the width to be used.
