Fixed Width Font

Racer1

<div class="IPBDescription">ns forum posts</div> Is there a way to use a fixed width font when posting a message to the NS forums? I tried using the "FONT" tag but only variable-width fonts were available. I tried using the "CODE" tag, and it did indent it, but it didn't use a fixed-width font...what's the point of a CODE tag if it doesn't use fixed-width fonts?

Suggestions?

For fixed width fonts, 4.567 should line up exactly above/below each other.
The forum is merging multiple spaces. This means tables and other stuff don't line up right unless there is only 1 space in between items.
FYI, each section is 5 characters long. In the first line its abc followed by 2 spaces then the D. In the second line, its A followed by 4 spaces, then the D.

It's not the forum it's the web browser. You can use other chars as spaces. (ALT+0160)
