And, if you really need a left-space to separate the text from the left-hand edge of the box, and preserve alignment, use a space in the same font (TR) both times -- like: "\s12\fR \fP\fChash.c\fP" at 1.062,8.721 ljust "\s12\fR Filename\fP" at 1.062,9.096 ljust and *not* # "\s12\fC hash.c\fP" at 1.062,8.721 ljust # "\s12\fR Filename\fP" at 1.062,9.096 ljust Hoping this helps!
