Please try explaining exactly what part of your alignment is failing, and maybe show some of the code that is not working.

y += lineHeight;

}
y += lineHeight;
}

Added code to original question, although indenting seems to be broken.

Solution 2

You still have not explained exactly what your problem is but I am guessing it's because you are using a proportional font rather than a fixed width type. Try something like "Courier New" and see if that works.
