How do I make sure every glyph has the same width?

Question

I\'ve noticed that even at the same font size, there is not a standard width. How can I use these in front of a list of items so the words don\'t appear jagged?

Since 3.1.1, you could use the icon-fixed-width class instead of having to edit the CSS.

Since 4.0, you should use fa-fw:

Thanks @kalessin for pointing out.
