[code] balancing names

Hrmm.. well I've added races to my mud, and I've changed the race_abbrevs
and class_abbrevs so that they show up as adjectives and full names instead
of actual abbreviations (changed "dw - wa" to "dwarven warrior" etc.), but
to make it look balanced on who, i.e.
[95   Dwarven Knight]
[80   Elven     Mage]
instead of
[95   Dwarven Knight]
[80   Elven Mage],
I put in the appropriate number of spaces to balance them out. This works
fine, but doesnt look all that great, especially in score
(You are a level 45     Kender   Mage.)
so I was wondering if there's any .. 'internal' for lack of a better word
way to balance them out so it'd show up as something like :
[95   Dwarven Knight]
[80       Elven Mage]
Hmm.. not sure how much sense that made, but if someone could
help I'd be very grateful..

Mike
