The Terminal font seems to be set to a non-monospace font.
The solution is to set the Terminal font to Ubuntu Mono (default Terminal font — or any monospace font you like).

Check the Custom font checkbox and click on the big button next to the checkbox and choose Ubuntu Mono regular:
then click Select. You should be fine.
