Peter,

It's not just your browser. Part of the problem comes from the dotNetBB style sheet at [url]http://forums.parallax.com//forums/styles/dotNetBB/css/style.css[/url]. Here's what it uses for code blocks:

[code]
.msgCode {
  background-color  : #EEEEEE;
  color             : #000099;
  font-family       : Lucida Console, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helevetica, Sans-Serif;
  font-size         : 8pt;
  cursor            : default;
  font-weight       : normal;
  padding-left      : 10px;
  padding-right     : 10px;
  padding-bottom    : 5px;
  padding-top       : 5px;
  border            : 1px inset threedshadow;
}
[/code]
Lucinda Console is the only monospaced font listed. All the others are proportionally-spaced. If you don't have Lucinda Console installed in your system, or if your browser won't use it, you'll get a proportionally-spaced font instead.

It would be a simple matter to fix it, I think. Just changing the [b]font-family[/b] line to the following would do the job:

[code]
  font-family        : Parallax, ProggyCleanTT, Lucinda Console, Courier, Monospace;

[/code]

With this, your browser has a choice of several monospaced fonts and will use the first available font listed. If none of those exist in the system, it will default to any other "Monospace" font (the last choice), instead of a proportionally-spaced "Sans-Serif" font. This would also allow Spin programs for the Propeller to display in all their glory.

Perhaps the IT Guy could weigh in on this possibility...
