Fonts?

Hello Ascii Artists,

I am working on support for other fonts than Courier New for the next
release of Jave. Unfortunately it seems I have to compile a list of
fonts that make make sense for ascii art. I have tried to find them out
within my program by looking at some character widths of all fonts
available on the system, but this takes a lot of time for testing and
most of the result fonts are symbolic ones (like Wingdings)...

So here is my question: What are the names of the fonts you are using
for ascii art?
Please post your answer directly to me - I don't think it makes sense to
flood the ng with messages about this topic - or does it?

Or if you are into Java programming: Do you have a good idea about how
to find out fonts that are suitable for ascii art by a program?

Thanks,
Markus
