This is really a CSS/HTML issue and nothing directly related to htmldb. Have you looked at your output with different browsers? It could be that its something specific to the browser or browser version your using, the fonts it uses, the screen size/resolution etc.

try other browsers, check browser configuraition and check there are not other CSS elements affecting the formatting.

As you want specific formatting for this column, I'd recommend defining a specific TD class e.g. TD.data. This will help to ensure your formatting for that column only affects columns definined to use that class and will help ensure other TD css elements don't play havoc with what your trying to do.
