Text Formatting ⇒ glossaries | Justify Acronym Descriptions

[Dominik]

Hi everyone,

is there a way to get acronym descriptions maintained by the glossaries package to be right justified in their column instead of left justified (in the listdotted style).

Best,
Dominik

You could try defining a new style:

Code: Select all

\newglossarystyle{altlistdotted}{%
  \glossarystyle{list}%
  \renewcommand*{\glossaryentryfield}[5]{%
    \item[]\makebox[\glslistdottedwidth][l]{%
      \glsentryitem{##1}\glstarget{##1}{##2}%
      \unskip\leaders\hbox to 2.9mm{\hss.}\hfill\strut}\hfill##3}%
  \renewcommand*{\glossarysubentryfield}[6]{%
    \item[]\makebox[\glslistdottedwidth][l]{%
    \glssubentryitem{##2}%
    \glstarget{##2}{##3}%
    \unskip\leaders\hbox to 2.9mm{\hss.}\hfill\strut}\hfill##4}%
}

You may need to adjust the value of \glslistdottedwidth as this will shove the description to the end of the text body and the dotted line may appear truncated.
