If the numbers have the *same* number of digits after the decimal point,

I almost have no hairs left to split, but a right-aligned tab will only
work if the used font is fixed-width or when its digits are fixed-width.

Professional typographers use different digits of the same fonts in
normal text and, say, in a table (exactly that the numbers allign
properly, i.e. 1111.4 will take the same amount of space as 6970.2).
