    Question Need a Fixed Font

    Hi Folks,

    I think I'm resigning myself to just being a moocher here, seeking answers to questions, and likely to never develop sufficient expertise to earn the thanks of others. Be that as it may, here is my current perplexity:

    http://www.marainlaw.com/page.php?here=PTI is a page on which the acronym "PTI" appears on many occasions. Proportional spacing makes the "TI" in PTI look like the Greek letter pi. I can completely cure that by inserting a space between "T" and the "I". That, however, would destroy the search-engine value of the PTI repetition, which is the thrust of the entire page. I think I can solve this problem by css specification of a fixed font. I seek suggestions on what that font might be.

    Best,

    A.

    Alternatively, you can change the letter spacing for those characters:
    HTML Code:
    <span style="letter-spacing:.25em;">PTI</span>
