Hello,
It seems that you are using a proportional font (different width for each
character) as opposed to a monospace one. For example, compare the width of
'<' on line 2 with the 'J' below.
Table alignment usually works by ensuring all cells in a column contain the
same number of characters, but that only works for monospace fonts.
The terminal is using monospace fonts by default.
