Is it possible to text indent each line in a textarea? I'm using a handwritten font and the first letter on each line is getting cut off slightly. I've already used padding and margin, but this does not work.

Many thanks.

Don't know about \t but

style="padding-left: 4px;"

would definitely work for all the rows of a text-area.
