If you change the zoom factor to 100% does it look ok?

If yes, then maybe this post by Debra Dalgleish will help:

You can change a registry setting to prevent this from happening (make a
backup copy of the registry first):

1. From the Start button, choose Run
2. Type regedit then click OK
3. Click the + sign to the left of HKEY_CURRENT_USER
4. Open Software, Microsoft, Office, 9.0, Excel, Options
5. Choose EditNewDWORD Value
6. Type the name for the DWORD: FontSub
7. Press Enter to complete the renaming
8. Choose EditModify
9. Type 0 as the value, select Decimal, and click OK
10. Close the Registry Editor

That 9.0 will vary with your version of excel.

On checking, it appears that it is only the screen font that has
narrow "1" characters. Printed pages line up columns of numbers OK.

Can someone recommmend a readily available sans serif font, similar to
Arial, that has monospaced numbers, so that a column of numbers will
line up. When I use Arial in an Excel worksheet, the "1" occupies a
narrow space, and causes a column of numbers to misalign.

I don't want a totally monospaced font (I have one of those). Only
the numbers, not text/letters should be monospaced.

Thanks for your help.
