Try this (I think it can go anywhere in the page, but in the  would be
better I think):



That should show any text in PRE tags in Fixedsys (and, should the machine
not have fixedsys, in a browser-appointed 'monospaced' font).  The
'type="text/css"' is so that it will be HTML4.0 allowed (at least, when
checking my pages, W3 validator yelled at me without it )

Note this is a cascading style sheet code so browsers that don't support it
or have them disabled will still see them in Courier (or whatever their
default is).
