Otto,
You can already specify these parameters to the stats box:
Assume a pad containing an histogram with the stats box:
TPaveText *stats = (TPaveText*)gPad->GetPrimitive("stats");
stats->SetTextFont(82);
stats->SetTextSize(0.03);
stats->SetFillColor(42);

I agree that the "=" characters could be aligned. The only way to do it
correctly is to:
-draw the =
-draw the par name right adjusted to the =
-draw the value left adjusted to the =
