I found that under Android < 5.0 - the monospaces font of a label is OK on the widget.
But the same label under Android 5 - is not monospaced.

How to show on a widget some text table of 1 ... 10 lines in 2 columns dinamically?

Used such sub for formatting:
B4X:
Sub FormatString(str1 As String, str2 As String, strformat As String) As String
'Create a Stringbuilder (it's much faster for appending strings)
    Dim SB As StringBuilder
    SB.Initialize

    'Create the Formatter Object
    Dim Format As JavaObject
    Format.InitializeStatic("java.lang.String")

    'Create an array of arrays that holds our data.
    'We could have been read from a CSV file using StringUtils and converted to an array of arrays using Regex.Split

    'NOTE: the array must be of type Object

    Dim Data(1) As Object
    Data(0) = Array As Object(str1, str2)
    Dim FormatStr As String = strformat

    For Each Line() As Object In Data
        SB.Append(Format.RunMethod("format",Array As Object(FormatStr,Line)))
    Next

    Return SB.ToString
End Sub

with the format = "%-30s %s %n"

Tried to generate the pictured text, but no idea how to make the same picture ratio, on various devices.
Finally, made 2 labels, one per column and 2 strings with CRLF saved me.
