How can I left-align the [multiple-row] text in the right portion of my header using fancyhdr? I have something like this
\rhead{row 1\\row 2\\row 3}
where the rows aren't the same length, and I wish for them to be aligned on the left.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\lhead{\raisebox{-0.5\height}{\includegraphics[height=21mm]{some_fancy_logo.pdf}}}
\chead{}
\rhead{I want to vertically align THIS text}
\begin{document}
abc
\end{document}
And don't ignore the warning of fancyhdr:
Package Fancyhdr Warning: \headheight is too small (12.0pt):
Make it at least 59.75078pt.
Use \headheight=22mm or something like this.
You can box the contents of the widest element and use this to width-adjust the shorter one:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}% http://ctan.org/pkg/fancyhdr
\newsavebox{\myheadbox}% Heading storage box
\pagestyle{fancy}
\rhead{\textsc{Tutorial\\The periodic table}}
\lhead{\textsc{\savebox{\myheadbox}{University of somewhere}\makebox[\wd\myheadbox][r]{My city}\\\usebox{\myheadbox}}}
\cfoot{\thepage}
\begin{document}
hello
\end{document}
\myheadbox contains the "University of somewhere" (in the appropriate font, \scshape). Then, "My city" is right-aligned in a \makebox of width \wd\myheadbox (width of \myheadbox).
Best Answer
You could use
\parboxin the argument of\rhead. For example:If you would like to align the widest row to the right margin, you could use
\settowidthtogether with a length macro and use it for the parbox width. Or have a look at the eqparbox package for auto-sizing parboxes in general.
