Another thing to check for is if there are tabs in the picture. It's not
a good idea to use tabs in ascii images. They may seem like a very
efficient way to make whitespace, but they can really mess up a picture.
The correct way is to only use ordinairy spaces, even if it does take a
little longer to draw the pictures that way.
