I have a column in a tableview where I would like to set the text-alignment to "right". I tried this but the text ist still left-aligned:

readonlyColumn("Preis", ArticleDTO::money).cellFormat {
                                text = it
                                tableColumn.isSortable = false
                                style {
                                    fontFamily = "monospace"
                                    textAlignment = TextAlignment.RIGHT
                                }
                            }

Am I doing something wrong? I wonder because the rest (fontFamily) works..

I think textAlignment can only influence text position within the node's space. It doesn't influence how the node sizes itself.

Have you checked to make sure the node is growing to fill the available space?

Thanks for your ideas, @Carlton Whitehead. In fact alignment = Pos.BASELINE_RIGHT did the trick. 🙂
