After trying all of the monospaced fonts, almost all of which came out
as Courier in the PDF, I ended up making the horizontal position a
variable, and writing a subroutine to calculate a position.
Thankfully, in most typefaces (but not all; at the IPM, I can find you
some examples among the Ludlow matrix collection), the digits are
monospaced. (Of course, in any actual typesetting environment, it's very
easy to quad a line to the right, even when the digits aren't
monospaced. I wonder why IBM never thought of adding "quad right," "quad
center," and "justify" functions to AFP.)
