OK, that helps, and I see the issue now. You basically have no way to
push the calculation up into the style sheet. There are several
options:

1. Use document.styleSheet[] to push changes into the style sheet
2. Use javascript to set a computed "style" string for every item with
a specific class.
3. Use a single monospacefixes.css file
4. Use one of several monospacefixes.css files based on a computed value

#1 and #2 are overkill, I think. #3 is what we have now, and is
obviously deficient. #4 seems good to me; using
http://pgweb.darkixion.com:8081/media/js/monospacefix.js I would add:

if (propSize / monoSize >= 1.8)
document.write('<style type="text/css" media="screen">@import "/media/css/monospacefixes1_8.css";</style>\n');
else if (propSize / monoSize >= 1.4)
document.write('<style type="text/css" media="screen">@import "/media/css/monospacefixes1_4.css";</style>\n');
else if (propSize / monoSize >= 1.2)
document.write('<style type="text/css" media="screen">@import "/media/css/monospacefixes1_2.css";</style>\n');
else if (propSize / monoSize >= 1.1)
document.write('<style type="text/css" media="screen">@import "/media/css/monospacefixes1_1.css";</style>\n');

That requires the creation of four small style sheets, and should cover
most of the common ratios.
