Problems with BBCode

[apoorvlathey]

Following are some of the problems i usually encounter while making BBCode signatures :

In Notepad :



In Post input box on forum:



In Preview output of forum :



Preview with design within code :




I want to ask why is the spacing different in the above different cases ?

BTW, if the size is reduced to 2px, then the design looks perfect. : but again gets distorted at 3px.
