That is true for any converting tool. The resolution with ascii characters is restricted. Most converters take only 1 greyscale pixel per character, some take 4 pixels. Others do not do greyscale conversion but convert in monochrome mode and use up to 3x2 pixels. By hand one can try to somewhat increase the resolution by modifying/combining/... details from the original image. However the conversion works: the greater the result image, the more pixels will be mapped to ascii and the more will the result look like the original :-) > >I have printed it, but had to use a 1 point font to get it to fit on the page. > >:-) > > I like to just keep the font really big and scroll around in it. I like Opera's ability to scale the html page. Just use the + and - keys on the numberpad. At 20% one can see the image in full width. Hitting F11 opens the full screen view.
