Need a little help here.

I recently started to use Safari after having used Firefox, Camino, Shiira, etc for quite a while. The site I visit for guitar tabs has always displayed correctly or at least the most optimal way for viewing guitar tabs (i.e. all characters are of equal size so everything "lines up").

Anyways, in Safari, for whatever reason the font is different and this causes mayhem throughout the tablature as seen in the following screenshots.

Knowing little about Safari, I am unsure how to go about fixing this problem. Other sites (such as MR) seem to view the same in either browser. Can anyone help?

Fixed! 🙂

In Safari's Preference window, under Appearance, my "fixed-width font" was set to Copperplate, which apparently isn't a fixed-width font.

Courier was a much better fit, so now everything is good. 😎
