How can I justify my matrices?

I know this might seem trivial, but I want to know how I can change how my matrices display, without functions. Is there a preference I need to change or something? I see other people have their matrices justified/aligned in the command window, but I can't seem to know why I don't. When working with lengthy matrices and symbolic variables this can become a hassle.

I show an example here of my output when working with Jacobian matrices.

pretty(J11)

Doesn´t really help, and I am almost sure this has to be a preference within Matlab but I have turned all the knobs in the program and nothing.

[Walter Roberson]

There is no preference in MATLAB that is related to this.

The ragged display could happen if you had a variable-width font for the command window.

Thanks! This really helped! I changed the font to Consolas and it fixed it!

I find this form using Live Editor preferable to pretty.

syms t1 t2 t3 d3 a2
J11 = [-cos(t1)*(d3*cos(t2+t3) + a2*cos(t2)), sin(t1)*(d3*sin(t2+t3) +a2*sin(t2)), d3*sin(t2+t3)*sin(t1);
-sin(t1)*(d3*cos(t2+t3) + a2*cos(t2)), -cos(t1)*(d3*sin(t2+t3) + a2*sin(t2)), -d3*sin(t2+t3)*cos(t1);
0, d3*cos(t2+t3) + a2*cos(t2), d3*cos(t2+t3)]

It is certainly a nicer looking display.

Unfortunately the output is not something we can copy and paste into code (though pretty() is not suitable for code either.)
