But, a couple of the |letters look kinda funky. I was wondering, is the capital "i" supposed |to look like a parenthese ")" ? Or is it just my conversion program |that messed it up? '------------------------------------ I think your converter has mixed up the characters somewhat. On the two Windows versions that I have, both have proper 'i' characters. If might be worth trying the conversion again, or perhaps trying the one that either is or isn't defined as monospaced dependant on whether the one you already have is. (erm... That doesn't make much sense, does it?) FWIW, Topaz New is a conversion of the Amiga's system font (Topaz) from Kickstart 2 and upwards... so if you like Topaz New, you might want to make ASCII Art on an Amiga! Interestingly enough, 8pt Topaz seems to correspond to 11pt Topaz New on the Windows95 default resolution. I suspect that on the Mac, it will be 8pt that matches the 8pt Amiga font.
