However the larger issue is when dealing with the chat container window and AddMessageToWindow() function. What I am trying to do is display width formatted text to the chat log. For example, a command /dumpstats, to write the following in the chat window:
[Noob] zone: WTS noob lewtz
STAT BEFORE AFTER
Stat1 670 899
Stat2 1 20
Since different stats will have a different value in the BEFORE column they will misalign AFTER column if simply writing a bunch of spaces, so that is not a very good solution. Anything better I can do?
EDIT: Lol, esoui forums here just removed the extra formatting spaces in my little ghetto table above. In case its not obvious, I am trying to make the data align to the column headers, essentially I want fixed width columns
EDIT2: Alternatively, is there a fixed width font included with the game I could use instead?

If I remmeber right the client can choose wichever Font he wants to use for the Chat. Or what Font Size or chat width for that matter.
I don't think the chat was designed to transmit properly alligned/layed out text.
