I'm partial to Century Gothic, since it's my favourite font and I use it for pretty much everything I can get away with, but the others are just fine for this too, and tend to be more efficient as far as space is concerned.

Make the background a solid colour. The textured background you have now does not help a bit.

All of this, but I'd say a fixed space font like Courier. Better still, and I'm uncertain of the limitations to do so on Android, but make the font selectable.

Also, crazy thought, but I'd consider reading the EULA for Army Builder to see if you can actually reverse engineer their files to interpret them. That would mean you're just building a viewer and all the content creation is done for you.

Oh, agreed. Courier is hideous, but it's completely functional. Note in the picture above how the statline doesn't mesh up with the headers above it? That's due to it being a proportional font. Now, you can tabspace, use tables, and stuff like that to overcome that, but the trick to making it look it's cleanest would be a monospace..

To the OP: If you're planning on actually selling this for money, you should implement something to line up the stat lines. Even if you're just handing it out gratis, then you should still consider cleaning it up a bit as a favour to your users.
