Depending on your presentation needs, if you need something a bit more
visually appealing (yet less readable at very small sizes), you can also
use Andale Mono.

Exactly. Monospaced fonts are considered the way to do this. Courier and
Monaco come with all Macs, and should fit your needs well (Courier has
serifs, Monaco does not).
It's just a matter of setting the TextView's font to Courier or Monaco;
whichever you feel is appropriate. For readability concerns, you should
probably display Monaco but print Courier.
Why don't you just use a fixed width font as the font for the text view?

I am setting the string of a NSTextView and I would like the characters

and of course things lining up correctly is of upmost importance.
Eventually, I will be using table view but I wanted to get this working
first. Nothing looked like what I was looking for in the docs but then
again I don't know the term for "having characters of the same width".
Perhaps someone could point me in the right direction or provide sample
code for this?
