Peter,

Have a look at the docs for the c++ implementation at
http://www.cplusplus.com/ref/cstdio/sprintf.html  I don't think all the
options will work from Dolphin though.

If you are happy using a single fixed font for your document then it's
easy enough.

n := 1.
Transcript view font: (Font name: 'Courier' pointSize: 12).
[n < 10000000] whileTrue: [
        Transcript nextPutAll: ('%10d' sprintfWith: n); cr.
        n := n * 10]

If you want variable fonts, or want to mix fonts, then it gets a bit
more difficult.  Let us know what you are trying to format, and where
you are trying to format it, and we might be able to help.
