That's exactly what I want: I have text being output from a dynamic 
system and don't want to hard-code an   before the text output, 
  but instead want to pad it has you mention so it sits consistently 
with the adjacent text.

Thanks all for the help. I'm testing 0.5ex at the moment, but I knew 
there was a reason I avoid using ex units. I'll change this to 
0.25em and tweak from there.
