Fixed pitch fonts and ASCII art are outdated; not even Dwarf Fortress relies on them anymore. You can sort of line up numbers, but you have to be careful to use U+2007 FIGURE SPACE (not U+0020 SPACE) and U+2212 MINUS (not U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS) to match the size of an Arabic digit. Code indentation only needs to be visibly bigger or smaller, and lining up words and formulae are jobs for TeX.
