[TALK] ascii art- dependency on fonts
All my ascii art has been created
in a window which had a terminal-font.
To be precise,' courier' regular size 10.
Ascii art is extremely sensitive to the font used.
For eg:, many of my ascii art seems to
be lacking in their beauty at my web page
(http://www.serv.net/~kgeorge/ascii_1.html)
which uses 'courier new' regular 10.
In olden days, everybody had only one font
in their vt100-s. But these days it is not true.
Even in a MAC or a PC running windows95/NT the
user interfaces are rich in fonts of different variety.
This takes a jab at the universality of the ascii art,
for whatever it stands for.
