Need assistance with font(number) alignment.

[Former Community Member]

I am in the process of updating many of the forms that our office uses to live forms and am not finding any information on how to format the font such that the number (first character in a line) will align correctly. As you can see from the image, the alignment is ocurring from the front edge of the character. This gives the appearance that the formatting is incorrect, when in fact all of the boxes are aligned at .5. We are in the final stages of editing the forms and this keeps arising as an issue with the management team that the numbers are not aligned correctly. I am using the Arial font.

Is there any way I can manipulate any of the font settings to correct this issue? Any other suggestions? If not, I'll just have to tell my team that this is how it is designed.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have to improve the display of alignment.
