This sentence not English.
HTML doesn't handle whitespace well, if it can be said to understand it at
all. If you don't understand that, you don't understand HTML at all. Your
lack of understanding of HTML would appear to be related to what you are
trying to do, yes?

It most certainly does not, as a stream of posts in the RISKS digest,
detailing how Acrobat simply doesn't show text if it decides it doesn't
have an appropriate font, testify. Since experiencing this myself while
viewing .pdf files on different platforms, I've stuck to generating stuff
in .ps instead. Ghostview is less lossy.
