'--------------------------------

If your font looks like the font I used in the picture at
http://voices.vossnet.co.uk/a/atkins/wotascii.gif then you have FixedSys -
that's a picture of my NotePad as it was when I first started the site and
it is still set to the same font.

I just copied this pic from the first message in this thread from you. I see
the lines in the outline not lining up and this is usually a symptom of
using the wrong font. You might have intended it this way and if so, no
offence intended, but it looks like you made it in a non-fixed width font eg
Arial or Times New Roman.

This lines up to me - does it you? I'd put up what I see on my website but
unfortunately the website i'd usually do this with isn't updatable right now
since my hosts have disabled the uploading thing while they upgrade it.
Perhaps someone else could?

Hope this helps,
-Martin
