holding the text formate between faces

[John]

Hello

is there a way to hold the same text formating between faces?

when changing the font from the Font Menu  "Shift-LeftMouse", it also
 changes the formating, so if the info directory C-h i is being displayed, the 
first 2 lines in the menu list

* Autoconf2.13: (autoconf2.13).         Create source code configuration
5<tabs> here  and the word "scripts" lines up under "guration" of
"configuration" in the previous line where it suppose to line up under
"Create" 
when I use a different font with the same 5<tabs> as other choices.


thanks
