String formatting in scrolling indicater

Hi All and thanks for reading,

I am having trouble displaying long string of various widths in a
scrolling text window. Even the format into string function does not
solve the proble as these windows seem to display the fill-in spaces as
narrower than an actual character. Any help would be appreciated!

Use any of the Courier fonts. These were designed such that every character, including spaces, takes up the same amount of space on the screen.

I'm not sure this is of any use to you but
why not just scroll the entire text in a picture, attached you find a VI for LV6 which shows you the idea. Play around with the text and the settings pixels and time.
Have fun with it.
