Will try that, thanks.  

Really, two attributes are involved: serifing and spacing.
Specification of both should be possible.  Eg. 
font-family: serif & monospace
font-family: sans-serif & monospace
font-family: serif & varispace
font-family: sans-serif & varispace

The syntax I've seen allows only one attribute: either spacing or 
sarifing.  And varispace is not included.  A CSS committee might be 
working on it; bit by bit.

Thanks,                     ... P.
