Acronym Title

Acronym Title

Hello,

The reason I`m back again is to pose this question to your expertise in 
the off chance somebody will have a solution (not an alternative). I 
know how badly I need to sit myself down and make the switch to xml (or 
even css), but I won`t do that until I understand html better. Here is 
my question:

Out of curiosity, I`ve managed to create an acronym title for my 28-year 
calendar cycle <http://r.aguirre.home.att.net> which drops down the 
calendar for the month. It wasn`t easy and still needs some minor 
adjustments. The problem i am having is the spacing and the fixed width. 
What would make an alternative method of maintaining a double space to 
seperate characters. html has the habbit of converting double spaces 
into single spaces. I`ve tried using key combinations for em-spacing, as 
well as en-spacing, but that just incurs a weird character into my 
monthly calendar. If you followed the hyperlink to my index page, find 
the link for the current month "July 2005" where there is an acronym 
title attached to it and see for yourself the awkward manner the first 
and second week display.

Another question is whether there is some way to specify that the 
acronym title display in teletype, or any other print that has fixed 
width characteristics. I think that this question is irrelevant because 
it actually does display fixed width and it`s just that double spacing 
glitch that is throwing me off.
