The lines appear to have a space before them, causing the text to be rendered as

Take out the space before the lines then.

the <pre> style is defined in http://ur.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/main.css
i dont think i can change it?
and also what to do about the textbox problem.

this problem is also faced when ever ,where ever urdu text is stylized with
"Italic" the text appears broken.
