|Hi,
|I'm trying to find a decent looking font that doesn't distort ASCII art
|pictures. For example; right now I am using "Arial" to type this. "Arial"
|distorts ASCII art though so, I can't use this font all of the time.
|"Courier" and "Fixedsys" work just fine for ASCII art but I personally
|think the fonts are ugly. Their too "chunky" and plain looking. :-)
|So, can I find a happy font in-between? Is there a font that looks nice
|kind of like "Arial" and allows ASCII art at the same time?
|What font do you all use? Thanks a lot!

If you have Win95 Plus!, try Lucida Console. I use it to make and view all
ascii art :o)
I don't know if it comes with Win98, but it might!
