Oops, change the highlighted word to monospace.

You can specify proportional fonts with the font face tag, e.g. specify Arial
for posting aol pics, and the viewer will automatically see it in the correct
Arial font. Support for the font face tag is not very uniform at the moment,
but improving rapidly, driven by the need of mainstream web page designers for
better typographical and hence better font control. The non-mainstream html
graphics community can take advantage by riding that wave.
