|Dear Group,
|I have been reading all faqs and lurking and reading all posts before I jump
|into this project and I still need some clarification if you don't mind:
|
|Here's what I understand to be true as an "AOLer":
|1.  My only available font on this newsreader is NOT a fixed width.
|2.  There is no way to remedy that situation.
|3.  If I want my art to look ok to other folks in the group, I must create my
|art on Notepad and cut and paste it to my newsgroup window.
|
|Here's my questions???
|1.  When I do this my art appears nasty to me but will look ok to you SO....
|will my art look as bad to other AOL'ers???
'----------------
It will indeed. It will look exactly as it looked when you pasted it in.

.----------------
|2.  Does this mean that I would have to post 2 versions of my art?  One that
|looks good to folks on aol and one that is correct when viewed with a fixed
|width newsreader?
'----------------
No, what you can do is tell the family members that they must copy the are
from AOL into NotePad... that will work fine and they will be able to ooh
and ahh to their heart`s content!!!!

Also, version 4 of the AOL software I believe allows you to change the
font... so perhaps an upgrade is in order!

|Thanks for all your help

No probs, and thanks for reading all of our FAQs... they are painstakingly
put together for that perpose and it is unfortunate that some seem to sake
'FAQ' to mean 'ignore me'. :o(
