How to align two columns of text in CSS

Question

I\'m having some trouble lining up some text. I need two columns, one with numbers and one with text, like so:

1 Entry one
2 Entry two
3 Entry three
4 Entry

Answer 1

As per my comment, I think the best element for the job is an ordered list.

ol {
   font-family: georgia, serif;
   font-size: 16px;
   font-weight: bold;
}
ol li span {
   font-family: arial, sans-serif;
   font-weight: normal;
   font-size: 12px;
}

  
Entry one
text on another line
  
Entry two
  
Entry three
  
Entry five
  
Entry six

With the span to allow changing of font-family between the list "bullets" and the content within, these could be divs if you have block content.
