Indentation/Align Text in Field

Is there a way to align text in a Text Field after inserting bullets? I have a script that inserts a bullet on each new line, but inputs that are too long will align left. My only idea is to insert a space on each line that isn't a "\n" new line. Any thoughts or suggestions? I have my script below and a screenshot of the results.

 

if(event.value != "") {

event.value = event.value.split(/[\n\r]/g).map(function(a){return "\u2b29 " + a}).join("\n");

}

So you want a hanging paragragh. I think you might be able to do this with Rich Text.  Check out the options available by first setting it up manually with a rich text field.  Then use a script in the console window to see if the span properties, many of which are undocumented, provide support for the hanging paragraph.

Not possible, unless you write a function that correctly calculates the width of the text and use that to add extra spaces to it.
