Well, things are kind of complicated. 

First there's the question of whether numbers should be on the right in the
first place - seeing how the Basic _code_ is not RTL and not right-aligned. In
fact, I'd probably say the line numbers should be to the left of the code -
otherwise they're very far from the code, which is bad. Another option is
placing line numbers on _both_ sides.

About alignment of the numbers within their column - I'd say this depends on
the number representation system of each written language. If the digit
position corresponds to a power of 10, with highest-powers on the left (which
is the case for all of English, Hebrew, Arabic - but perhaps not for all
languages) - then right-aligning makes sense. Otherwise - depending on the
specifics of the language.
