Bookman, like all PostScript fonts (and almost all fonts in the typesetting world), _has_ monospaced numerals. The reason for this is the same one you cite, the need for numbers to align in columns. If your telephone numbers don't have identical widths, the software you're using must be applying pair kerning to the numerals. Microsoft Word doesn't offer pair kerning–are you feeding this document through Pagemaker or some other DTP program? If the numbers all have the same widths but aren't aligning, you're doing something in wrong when positioning them–or there's something wrong with the width tables in your Mac's system folder.
