Except that Courier New comes off without a hitch. I checked a colored ASCII art web page and with Andale Mono, the text was misaligned. But when I switched to Courier New, it was absolutely perfect. :\ > Browsers are supposed to collapse multiple spaces to single, which browsers > do. 'x x <b> x' therefore becomes 'x x <b>x'.

Possibly. I mean, it would have the same ASCII code, of course, but it's also not a full space. Applying color to a single character throws everything to the right out about a pixel or two. Coloring 8-10 characters as I did in the example throws it out a full character and slightly more. Firedraake
