this is about what i am looking for
and the clock as i said can be any size as long as its big enough
for the the text

but i remember seeing fonts in this group befor and i didnt pay much attention 
to to them.
what i need to know is what is the proper size for a ascii font?
i went to ascipr0n.com and looked at the fonts there and noticed
that most fonts are about 5 lines in hight, is this corect?

it would be nice if one could just point the app to a dir of standerd sized
fonts that are already in exsistance.
am i asking to much or is there a real standerd?

just for pourpuses of geting the code done i am working with a 5 line font
but i will be able to change that once i get a solid answer.

and the clock is sweet
that is exactly what i want to see.
after formating for the app it would be in a file called something like
asciiclock/arm_safe
and look something like this

            `-`-.-`-.-`-.-`     `-.-`-.-`-.-`-`

so that the app can just spit the numbers out into it but i need
standerd hight and width ascii font letters so that all the skins
and letters will be compatable with each other and the app's formating 
techniqu
