How do I insert a tab in a jsf page?
<h:outputText class="text" value="#{BackingBean.line1}" /> This doesn't work:
String line1 = "Scale \t: " + vss.getScale(); Any idea?

Whitespace is in HTML by default not accounted as part of presentation. You'd need to use HTML elements like <br/> for a newline or <ul><li> for lists or <dl><dt><dd> for definitions. Most likely the <dl><dt><dd> is most suitable for you.
If you have a hard head in, you could always just set the CSS white-space property of the parent element to pre.
E.g.
<h:outputText ... styleClass="preformatted" /> (please note that the class attribtue is invalid. It should be styleClass)
with
.preformatted { white-space: pre; }
