 FYI,
 
 It is different from the surrounding text.  The surrounding text is
 "plain text" but the "root" word is displayed with a monospaced font.
 
 In small sizes, this is not very obvious, but if you zoom in the larger
 character box size and the constant width of the characters in the
 "root" word is more apparent.
 
 The specific serif/sand-serif and monospaced fonts that Mozilla (or any
 browser) is configured to use may also play an important role in making
 the different easier to see.
 
 For instance, using "Arial" as the sans-serif font and "Courier" as the
 monospaced font makes the difference *much* more visible than say a
 setup where the sans-serif font is "Verdana" and the monospaced font is
 "Andale Mono".
