Description Michael Kelsey 2013-01-05 21:40:27 CET 
The headings for each section of the NIST materials output are aligned on particular character columns, for example

  =======================================================
  ###   Simple Materials from the NIST Data Base   ###
  =======================================================
   Z  Name  ChFormula        density(g/cm^3)  I(eV)       
  =======================================================

However, since at least the 9.4 release the output data is simply streamed, without any alignment:

[...]
  8  G4_O  0.00133151     95
  9  G4_F  0.00158029     115
  10  G4_Ne  0.000838505     137
  11  G4_Na  0.971     149
  12  G4_Mg  1.74     156
[...]

This makes reading the output more difficult, and very awkward to transfer into documentation without significant manual editing.

Thanks for pointing to the problem. The fix is integrated to the development release. Marc, please, close the report.
