I use the either the terminal or fixedsys fonts for wordpad to view
ascii art. Personally though, I prefer to use notepad with the system
fonts set to a terminal-type font. You have to edit the registry to do
this and I have have no idea what happens if you do it wrong. In
win3.1 you had to edit system.ini and if you chose an incompatible
font windows would refuse to start so you had to edit it again with
edit. To change the win95 registry go to
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG/Display/Settings and change the fixedfon.fon to
vgaoem.fon and change fonts.fon to vgasys.fon and change oemfonts.fon
to vgaoem.fon and notepad will display all this cool ascii very
nicely. If you backup your registry first you can even mess around
with other fonts for the system menus to see what you get.
