Tab width in print/println vs printstyled

General Usage
1

In Julia 1.9, the tab width is different in println() vs. printstyled().
Version: Version 1.9.0 (2023-05-07)

print() and println() are consistent.
printstyled() is a different width:

julia> println("123456789\n\t*")
123456789
        *

julia> printstyled("123456789\n\t*")
123456789
     *

It’s the same width for me (1.9 on Mac).

What terminal are you using?

I have tried Linux xterm, xterm-256color, kconsole, and rxvt. All are consistent. I’m using SUSE (i think).

I also tried on Windows. No issue. The issue only occurs when I run on our Linux machine.

Perhaps it is a font issue? Using Alacritty or Gnome Terminal on Ubuntu 22.04 with JuliaMono installed I see
