That doesn't work. The right way is:

<PRE>
picture
</PRE>

Don't forget to replace all "&" -characters in the picture with "&amp;"
and all "<" -characters with "&lt;".

To change fonts and colors, please use CSS. The <FONT> tag works also,
but is not recommended. See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/

Nonstandard characters can be used by either setting the appropriate
character encoding for the document and including them as-is, or by
using numeric character entities with the approprite Unicode values.
Whether a particular browser can display them is another matter
entirely.

Did I miss anything?
