That's right - each character is the same width.

Pick a fixed-pitch font, then, and style a <div> for width.

When I set the width in <div>, it wrapped the lines at that width, and
that isn't allowed.

I'm probably going to have to just do that. I've got my program
creating the files. Since HTML doesn't seem capable of doing it the
way I want, I'm going to assume a browser maximized at 1024x768. If
that doesn't work for the users, then I'll have to make special files
for them or either include three or four sizes and let them pick the
one that works for them.

Sorry, Jud. I don't know a way to make lines not wrap and still adjust
to the width of a users viewport. Hope you find a solution to this
quandary.
