Version 1.4.1 of Tibble Seems to Misalign Data and Headers

[jeff-mettel]

With the newest version of tibble, it appears headers and the underlying data can be misaligned when displayed in RStudio. Here is an example:

iris %>% as_tibble()

Inside RStudio, it appears as follows (Note the misalignment):

Oddly, when copying and pasting, the alignment is as expected:

> iris %>% as_tibble()
# A tibble: 150 x 5
   Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
          <dbl>       <dbl>        <dbl>       <dbl> <fctr> 
 1         5.10        3.50         1.40       0.200 setosa 
 2         4.90        3.00         1.40       0.200 setosa 
 3         4.70        3.20         1.30       0.200 setosa 
 4         4.60        3.10         1.50       0.200 setosa

 7         4.60        3.40         1.40       0.300 setosa 
 8         5.00        3.40         1.50       0.200 setosa 
 9         4.40        2.90         1.40       0.200 setosa

This has been brought up elsewhere (#351, #346, #349, #354) and it appears to relate to an issue with RStudio's default font selection, at least on OSX, have a wider bold character than a non-bold character (rstudio/rstudio#1721). This is a feature of the font that is being used - it isn't a problem with the tibble package per se.

I fixed the alignment issue by switching the font that RStudio uses from Monaco to Menlo-Regular. It isn't a perfect fix (since the user encounters a problem on a fresh install using the defaults in RStudio on, at least, MacOS) but it is a temporary fix.
