Normally Tkinter comes with Python.
You don't tell us which OS or Python version you are using?
But before trying to install it separately have you checked for a binary 
Python installer for your OS? Activestate have versions for
most common OS and they usually include Tkinter ready to run.

How you create the dictionary has no bearing on how it will display.
You need to show us the code that produces the printout.

What font are you using? If it is not monospace then
formatting will be unpredictable. If layout is important its
usually better to use a layout centered language like HTML
or LaTeX to format the text before printing. for example you
could create an HTML table.
