You may want to test my financial formatting routine (probably without
specifying a currency symbol). It is designed specifically that a
column of large digits align on the decimal point, and also allows K
or M indicators if the number is too large to fit in the specified
width. I does not handle exponents at all, though. Let me know if
there is some reasonable enhancement you think I could make.
