I know all that.
Did you read my post :

Is there a way to have something like tab stops, either in em or percent, so this will work with any font or size?

Anyway, what I've done is use <pre> text. Not the most aesthetic, but it keeps the text in the right place. And it should convert to to mobi easily.

It will probably look crappy on a small phone and run off the screen, but it's either that or use images of text.
