Funny.. I'm viewing this right now with Lucida Console, and those three
characters look something like

            ####
            #### 
 #########    ##   #########
             ##

This in 9pt - I tried some other sizes, and none of them looked like what
you described.

As for the rest of your post, I agree that Lucida Console isn't a perfect
font for ascii. My own pictures in particular tend to look distorted in
it, but OTOH some people's art looks better in it. It all depends on the
artists' style and the font they use themselves.
