I haven't looked at the code but why not print out latex rather than plain
text. Then you use latex or pdflatex to render it. Then you need not waste
time with formatting. Even better produce a flat (easy to parse) xml document
which represents the table and then make a filter which outputs to
latex->ps/pdf.
