Why not create a right justified label containing:

  .............................:

Then duplicate this into all relevant positions. Finally, resize all
labels with text to the width of the text plus a space and mark them
as "Move to front". 
Of course, this technique won't work if the background "colour" of the
text labels is transparent. On the other hand, any font can be
selected for the text and a different font may be used for the
punctuation.
