OE is quite a good piece of software, big companies have paid Microsoft megabucks for site licenses, servers, etc. It is also downloadable for free for private/non-commercial use. OE's use is therefore quite massive and increasing, and as makers of ascii pics we better take its idiosyncrasies into account, like it or not. OE for Windows does have the problem of eliminating one space at the beginning of each line, and the safest solution is indeed to move the ascii pic two spaces to the right. Another safe solution is to begin each line with a character, like using panels, see my sig for example. OE for the Mac does not have this "eliminating one space" problem, but the above solutions do not harm Mac users. OE for the Mac does have a peculiarity if you use the Monaco font with it. In that case, the linespacing is not just one line height, but almost one and a half line heights, which makes the pics appear tall and slender. The effect is not always bad, i.e. it can even make the pics look better! But again, it is good to be aware of this peculiarity. If you use any other fixed width font with OE for the Mac, the above peculiarity does not appear. ========================================================= [] .oo Visit the Gallery of the 'steins!
