You know how most fonts and typography in general have characters/glyphs of various widths? Like if you compare a regular font:

A E I O U

Z X C V B

a e i o u

z x c v b

They don't quite line up perfectly like a fixed width or monospace font does:

A E I O U  

Z X C V B  

a e i o u  

z x c v b  

I've just discovered how it's possible to align parts of a LaTeX document (still getting the hang of it) and I was curious to find out if it's possible to align and center every individual character of an ordinary font, so as to emulate fixed width characters of monospaced fonts.

If you look closely the actual characters are not all necessarily the same width, but the characters and the empty space around them amount to the same dimensions, which is what makes me think it might be possible:
A E I O U
a e i o u
Z X C V B
z x c v b

Some more obvious comparisons:
1 I ! | .
0 W ? — …

Anyway, it could be quite useful to me, if it's possible. Might end up just being to ugly for this life, but I'd like to give it a shot if anyone can think of a way to do it.
