I'm actually up to this in css

textarea
{
font-family: "Lucida Console", Monaco, monospace;
white-space: pre;
white-space: -moz-pre;
resize: none;
border: 1px solid #c0c0c0;
padding: 2px;
box-sizing: border-box;
overflow: hidden;
}

The rows and cols in the html.
IE looks good.
Chrome has 52 characters in 1st line (and you can google "Chrome textarea 2
px 2 character"
And read for hours...
Firefox - doesn't believe in fixed width textarea.(that I can see)..

Going to let users decide if to scratch the textarea for 5 input text fields
(they lose the easy copy/paste from another source ability)..

But still testing options.
