However, several Usenet readers now display messages in a proportional font (where different characters are different widths). The following two lines tell you which kind of font you're using. The arrow ends up in a different place for different font types and is right most of the time: You are using a [Proportional] [Monospaced] font ................................. --^-- Also, to see what your program is doing, look at these two lines: iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii| WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW| If they look the same length, you're using a fixed-width font and all should be ok. If the second line is longer than the first, you need to change your settings to use a fixed-width font. In Netscape Messenger, this option is set in Edit > Preferences > Mail & Newsgroups. In Outlook Express, the option is set in View > Options > Fonts (see Question 20) In Forte Agent, the option is set in Options > Display Preferences > Fonts and Free Agent, the option is set in Options > General Preferences > Fonts The AOL newsreader can not, at the time of writing, display Usenet messages in a fixed-width font at all. Detailed information on how to configure other Usenet readers is available at the: ASCII-Art Documentation Archive (see the beginning of this FAQ). If all else fails, copy the text of the picture from your program and paste it into a text editor (such as Notepad). It's a hassle, but at least you'll get to see the pictures.
