Arial-font based "text art" is already an AOL
genre...  it is called macros...  There are many
opportunities for those who use AOL's arial
font to communicate with one another...
See AOL's momsonline section-- games
category-- macro folder.  There are also
several chat rooms and "macro groups" or
clubs.   There is no need for AOL's macro
world to pervade the internet's world of ASCII art.
AOL is such a small part of the internet... and
now with AOL's 4.0 software, email and AOL
chat rooms can be set to certain fonts... 
even fixed fonts..alas, newsgroups cannot.

And it makes no sense to have a proportional
font newsgroup... ack, as I've said before,
proportional fonts vary from system to system--
EVEN those that have the SAME NAME!

AOL can do it-- everyone on AOL uses America
Online systems and the same font options.
There are no variations.

 Our 'newbies' have been creating proportional
text pics that can't be viewed by anyone else
as they have created them.  Unfortunately, it's
 a waste of their time.   I'd like for them to think that we
are helping them...  we really do want to see their
efforts-- as I'm sure they want others to see what
they have done--   so PLEASE use the proper type
of font-- one that is universal--->  a fixed-width
"typewriter" font!
