A solution to this issue (for Linux).
Preview through LibreOffice with OpenType feature supported. It does not apply "tabular figures" (
tnum) at first and adding a suffix ":tnum" turns on that feature.This fixes the widths for some fields that contain only changing digits (like clocks, system stats, etc.), making them much less disturbing.
