Question Does CSS have fixedwidth property?


I'd like to force a non-fixed-width font to act like a fixed width font. Does CSS have a property that will do this? I haven't been able to find one so far, but I have found hints that this may exist...

Alternately, does anyone know of a fixed-width font with broad support that isn't butt-ugly?

Thanks!

What do you mean by fixed width? Do you mean character spacing?

If you are saying that you want a font to stay the same size whether someone tries to enlarge text in their browser, the answer is yes and no, with CSS.
You can put "font-size: 10pt;" with whatever pt size you want, and it won't change size. Except it will in Firefox... so you can keep IE people from changing it, but not Firefox. If you really need the font to stay the same, you can write out the text in photoshop or any imaging program, and display the image of the text instead. But I don't recommend that unless you really have GOT to, since viewers will not be able to see the text if the image doesn't come up for any reason, blind people will not get the text read to them through their programs, and people will not be able to copy any text they may need to. Depends on what you're doing. I hope this helps!
