Tracing the background image
> Anyway, here's a fairly comprehensive formula: > a) Open Netscape Composer > (Start -> Run -> netscape -composer) > (or from navigator, Communicator-> Composer (Alt+3)) > b) Format -> Page Colors and Properties > c) Background Image -> Use Image (click in checkbox) > d) Tell Nutscrap where the gif/jpg original image is > e) Custom Colors -> Normal Text... > f) Choose a colour easily distinguishable from any in the image > g) Click OK > h) Second combo box on the toolbar, select Fixed Width > i) Third combo box on the toolbar, select font size > j) Diddle away! > h) Save the html file at intervals (so you don't lose your work!) Of course! Trace over the background image! I wish I had thought of that when doing the cheshire cat a week ago. Of course there are different methods when the result is supposed to be really crude: Just resize your image to the size you know your characters to be in the end. Then make pound signs (or whatever) out of the pixels by hand.
