There already is a 'space' there -- the two items are in separate <td>...</td> enclosures. The combination of the default font size + bold + 620px table width causes the squeeze between the two long 'Wednesday' words. Fix it by changing the default font size for your website (or switch to Arial Narrow for a font-face)

14px was likely still to big to fit. I'd try 11px or 12px instead.

Give it a rest for a week. The NWS now has "Independence Day" for the 4th (instead of "Thursday") and so the Wednesday's are crowded together even more.

If you're really set on getting this fixed now then try changing advforecast2.php

Code: Select all

if ($PrintMode) {?>
  <table width="640" style="border: none;">
to

Code: Select all

if ($PrintMode) {?>
  <table width="99%" style="border: none;">
and that will spread things out, but you may not like the result better.

The issue is that the 640px constraint + default font+size+text overflows what can be presented in the space allowed so the browser makes it's own compromise (and each browser does it differently).
