I have tried to find the source image to this conversion. I have uploaded it to
http://www.jave.de/download/metal.gif
I ran it through some converters in JavE. The greatest problem with this image
is that the white space between two characters is only about 3 pixels, with the
image being about 470 pixels wide. With a width of 80 characters for the result
image the white space is about 1/3..1/2 character wide. Showing the details
there is even very hard when done by hand:

 MM]MM      MM[MM
 MM]MM  or  MM[MM ?
 MM]MM      MM[MM

 One will get a quite         J
pleasing conversion         ,P
result when converting     QW
to more than 80          qMW
characters:            JWMW
But that's not       J+.WW`   WW MMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMW .MMMMM WMMMW      MMMM;
very satisfying,      ,MMA  WMMW MMMMMMMMMM MMWMMMMMMMM .MMMMMM WMMMW      MMMM;
as we want to         MMMMMMMMMW MMMMQQQQQQ   WMMMM    ,MMWWMMM WMMMW      MMMM;
use it in emails,    MMMMMWWMMMW MMMMMMMMMM   WMMMM    MMMQWMMM WMMMW      MMMM;
etc..               MME 4W`jMMMW MMMMP^^^^^   WMMMM   WMMMFMMMM WMMMW      MMMM;
                  ,MMW     MMMMW MMMMMMMMMM   WMMMM  WMMMP MMMM WMMMMMMMMW MMMMM
                 ,MMW`     MMMMW MMMMMMMMMM   WMMMM WMMMP  MMMM WMMMMMMMMW MMMMM
                JMMW`     JMMMW+
               JMMMt      WMW+
              .MMMt       Wt
             .MMMT       ^
            .MMMP
           JMMMP
          .MMMW    ,    So we have to play around with
         JMMMW: .F         lower reesolution, which
        JMMMMAuT     only will give us results like these:   .
