why?  so it'll look good in that one
particular font -- on one system?
I suppose you could.  AOLers make
their 'macros' in the AOL Arial-10 font.
However, fonts vary from system to
system -- even those that have the
same name!  Personally I'd hate to
spend all the time creating a text
art picture that could only be seen/
appreciated by a handful of people.
