If you use a proportional font (which is the default and really, most of them) then you will see this effect. If you want the characters to line up on multiple lines without a lot of fuss, you need to use a non-proportional font, where each character is the same width. A couple of examples on Microsoft machines are "Courier" and "Lucida Console".

There are other solutions as well (eg. set and use tabs).
