I don't know what formatString() is, as it doesn't seem to appear in the
Synchronet JavaScript object model - but you can use the printf() function to
justify text.  For format specifiers, text is right-justified by default with
printf.  You may need to specify a field width though (I don't remember for sure off the top of my head)  You could use something like this (with a field width of 4):

printf("\1h\1c%4d \1h\1c%4d", tlogons, firstOn);

And if you're curious, if you really wanted to left-justify those, you'd use a
- after the % sign:

printf("\1n\1c%-4d \1h\1c%-4d", tlogons, firstOn);

Also, as a side note, the 2nd \1h\1c is extraneous in the string you're
printing, as the string already has the high and cyan attributes at that point.
