Printf and formatting rules

Question

I would like to know if all the rules for formatting printf functions in F # work (or are implemented) ?

For example, if I want to align arguments with 9 characters (padding with spaces or 0), I would use:

printfn "%9A %9A" arg1 arg2 //don't seem to work

Thank!
