What you need is a fixed-width font! :)

I`m sorry, but I don`t recognise your newsreader`s name so I don`t know
what OS you are running...

On Win95/3:   FixedSys
              Courier New
              Lucida Console
              Courier
              Topaz New
              Monotype.com

On Amiga:     Topaz (in the ROM of the machine)
              Courier

Other fonts I remember but don`t know where they come from: Monaco,
Terminal (But not the Win95 version!)

Any font that makes these two lines the same length should be ok:
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

and a test picture:

  |||||
 | o o |
 |  >  |        .--- Can you see me ok?
 | \_/ |   ____/
  \___/
 __| |__

(It`s my ascii 'portrait')

Hope this helps...
