[css-d] how big is a space in ems?

I've got a pretty basic question. How wide is a typographical space in relative units? I want to pad a one-line element's left side so it looks like a space has been inserted. Is there a reliable way of doing this (e.g 0.5ex;), or does is just depend on how big a given font's space is? If

The width of a word space will vary depending upon the font you are working with. In most cases it falls somewhere between a thin (1/3 em) and an en (1/2 em) space. For web page treatments I usually just use 0.4em or 0.5em for a standard width word space. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL
