I should explain what I'm doing. I'm trying to make a program
generate HTML output for its reports. They all need fixed-width
fonts. Some of the reports range from 75 to 132 characters wide. I
want the recipient of the HTML file to be able to view the file
without any horizontal scrolling, and also to have it nearly fill the
width of the screen, no matter what screen resolution the recipient
has, etc. I've found out about setting the font size in <P style
....>, but I don't know how to make it be the appropriate size. (<pre>
is listed as depreciated, but I don't know what replaces it.)

How can I do that?
