    What isn't accurate?

    If that stupid WordForums.Com thing would thread posts properly, (and if
    your response was to the relevant post which I am assuming it is), I would
    not have to ask that question.

    With proportional spaced fonts, the numbers all occupy the same space, so if
    you have the same number of digits between each set of commas and the
    between the last comma and the decimal point, if the number is aligned on a
    decimal tab, then the commas will be lined up.

    If you are mixing a number of Indian Rupees with Dollars then they won't
    line up because the number of digits between the last two commas is not the
    same.

    benefit of others who may be interested.  Unsolicited questions forwarded
