Could you be more specific? I see character strings left justified,
e.g. x <- rep(c("a", "ab", "abc"), 7) prints as
[1] "a" "ab" "abc" "a" "ab" "abc" "a"
[8] "ab" "abc" "a" "ab" "abc" "a" "ab"
[15] "abc" "a" "ab" "abc" "a" "ab" "abc"
In a data frame, I do see it right justified:
x
1 a
2 ab
3 abc
etc.
It is easy to change the printing of data frames:
print.data.frame <- function(x, ..., right = FALSE) {
base::print.data.frame(x, ..., right = right)
}
> data.frame(x)
x
1 a
2 ab
3 abc
Are there other examples you're seeing?

print accepts right=FALSE to print character strings left-justified, but
neither head nor tail seem to do so, and even print is a little inconsistent
depending on whether it's done while knitting.
Is there a way to set left-justification globally so every routine will print
character strings left-justified?
