There could be several different problems. Take a look in the FAQ to see
if you can find out what it is:

http://studserv.stud.uni-hannover.de/~freise/ascii/faq.html

Some things to look for:

* What font are you using? (Is it a proportional font? If so then 
  change it to a monospaced font and try again)

* Are the pictures very wide? (including invisible space characters 
  at the end of each line)

* Are there any characters that are not on this list in the picture:
