Use a fixed-pitch font for certain text elements.


Context:
Fixed-pitch is a term which means monospaced font. A type writer like font where all letters are of equal width. The text elements will be listed above the text.

I'm wondering if I used the word "certain" correctly. What I'm trying to mean is that only certain elements will have that font, 5-10 elements, but not all.
Should I better go with "some" instead? Use a fixed-pitch font for some text elements.

Note my changes above.

I prefer "certain" in that context, especially if you're going to list those elements that should use the fixed-pitch font. I would write the instruction first and then list the relevant elements.
