I would have liked to get an aligned legend, like

d = 9m
d = 10m

In order to achieve that, i was trying to print a white (=invisible) "1"
whenever the number was smaller than 10 as spaceholder (I do not want to
use a monospaced font).

Does the \phantom trick work? I.e., r'd = \phantom{1}9m' or something
like that?

Obviously, this doesn't work any more as soon as you reach 20...

Even if your font is not monospaced, it might have "tabular figures":

I think at least Computer Modern Roman (the default font in TeX) does
have tabular figures.

As Jouni suggested, I guess the best chance here is to use phantom
command. Here is a little example.

rc('text', usetex=True)

p1, = plot([1,2,3])
legend([p1, p1, p1, p1],
       [r"d = \\phantom\{0\}1 m", "d = 10 m", "d = 23 m", "d = 91 m"])

-JJ
