The post you made used charset=EUC-KR, which doesn't appear to be something that renders on my system. The original post on Google looks even worse... http://groups.google.com/group/alt.ascii-art/msg/ed638c80e3b91176?hl=en&dmode=sourcehttp://groups.google.com/group/alt.ascii-art/msg/ed638c80e3b91176?hl=en&dmode=source or http://preview.tinyurl.com/84mldc You can create some very nice ASCII signatures without using exotic character sets by using tools like Figlet http://www.figlet.org/ and JavE http://www.jave.de/ . You might also be interested in the ASCII Art FAQ, which has a wealth of information about creating character based art, http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/q/ada/aaafaq.htm
