Approximate width counts were something like: 1/2 for i and j; >1.5 for caps or m; 2 for M; etc. I always work in FixedSys. I read the newsgroups and email in FixedSys too. Now and then the odd ASCII picture looks awful when I see it in Courier instead. I have an angel thats quite nice but I think she looks terrible when I see her in Courier somewhere. Bug uses Lucinda font. But so far everything looks fine in FixedSys too. I don't change fonts to see his ASCII.
