They are right aligned but there is no space after the B. Anyway a space 
won't help very much if you don't use a font with fixed font width 
because a space is in general only about half as wide as a K and an M. 
In Arial (12) the K is wider than two spaces (is almost three spaces 
wide) and the M is as wide as three spaces. As this depends heavily on 
the font which is used this problem can't be easily solved.
Example (best viewed with a proportional font):

 B   (one space)
  B  (two spaces)
KB
   B (three spaces)
MB

Ingo
