Okay, so I am creating a list of items in cluedo, and it would really help to be able to have them aligned on the left. Just showing you what it looks like at the moment. Can fix the overlapping text but want it to look neat as well.

Show the code you are currently using for creating and displaying the text you want left-aligned.

the problem is probebly that actors get set at the center of there coordinates so you need to add half the width and half the height to the location of the actor hope this helps

Here is the code. It is a bit FUBAR atm, but now it displays all the values as one thing so I only have to align this.

 * @version (a version number or a date)

    //declaring ints known & unknown and initialising them to 0. Declaring coordX and coordY.
    //coordX is a constant

**Changed the code around so that the string part is before the part to generate the text. I've also been having a problem where the 
            if (gameWorld.listCards == 18){
                CardHolder = "Billiard Room:";
            }
part are all meant to be one less with the == and it is meant to start with 0. If I do that then the text runs up the screen constantly like a wheel (moves off the top and starts from the bottom position... Hoping I can fix that but if not then i'll need some advice.

Drawing the text image at the left side of a set length image would left-align the text of the actors. Adjust the x-location of the actor and the size of 'image' as needed: 
private void cardListMakeText(String text) {
    GreenfootImage txtImg = new GreenfootImage(text, 20, Color.WHITE, null);
    GreenfootImage image = new GrenfootImage(200, txtImg.getHeight());
    image.drawImage(txtImg, 0, 0);
    setImage(image);
}
