One of the first things I want to do when Im on my computer again is
download IE 5. LOL  What bugs does it have already? Are they still
making life difficult for those of us who like to use FixedSys?

I have found the best way to be sure of width is to create ascii in
NotePad. If it fits in there it never has any trouble fitting anywhere
else. By fitting I mean NotePad doesnt stretch to accomodate it. Does
anyone else do this?  

Another point to add here is to highlight the whole ascii pic and look
for extra spaces that need to be deleted.

I am editor of the ascii art section of the Open Directory search
engine. Its not as well known as Yahoo but we have a lot fewer broken
and/or outdated links. The URL is: http://dmoz.org/Arts/ASCII/
