I use quite a few of 'J', 'L' and 'F', but generally I doubt theres enough
usage of alphabetic characters to be able to detect ASCII art from the presence
of letters rather than the absence.

You could link it with a spell checker - if it cant find any words it recognises
in large amounts of ASCII then its probably not writing.
