I have headers/details in the jasper reports studio. everything about this works wonderful minus one annoying thing I have to constantly line up the column headers with the details to make the alignments act correctly... even though i match the alignment exactly in the designer. 

This is probably because I have a different font style on Header versus detail... or something? I'm not sure. 

I can workaround the issue by manually tweaking X-coords, export the report, make sure they line up, until it looks nice... resulting in a designer like this:

Notice how I moved the values in the **Detail 1** band to the left so that the report with actual values lines up the columns correctly.

I must just be doing something wrong right? Why do I have to do this manual tweak to get things to look ok?
