Help , Width of Text Fields for PDF

[jasper10]

I have developed a iReport which gets the data from dtabase. The field in database is "LONG" and store data as shown below

JOHN SMITH .....................SAN FRANSISCO

SARA THOMAS...........................DALLAS

I am able to pull this data to iReport in a Text Field. Is there any way/settings of TestField which can show this result in iReport in Fixed width such as


JOHN SMITH ............................SAN FRANSISCO

SARA THOMAS...........................DALLAS



Please let me know if it is possible in iReport 3.7.1

uhm... you can use a font with fixed size to show fixed width label...

or

a better way is to split the string (Name and City are in the same db column???) in two separate text field, one for each column, so you can use different alignment for them.
you can split the "long" string in the query you make to retrieve your data, or in the text fied (using String.substring(...))
