Ask a friend, it's worth seeing..

I guess, though his gedit plugin doesn't work with the latest gedit
anymore. It seems gedit changed some or other API call (what I can
gather from the console output error message).

I don't know! It just does!  :-)  Actually on a serious note, it uses
pixel calculations based on the ET parameters you can specify:
MinimumWidth, PaddingWidth etc...  When viewed with a ET enabled
editor, the text might shift by a few pixels (not spaces) but all
alignment will still be intact. It's just that clever!  :)
