     You can add color, but only on web pages, not in this group. No coding
allowed.

>* Why couldn't I see most pictures normal in this newsgroup?

     Your newsreader is probably using a proportional font (where it smushes
the letters and words together to make it look more pleasing) like Ariel or
Times New Roman, you need to use a font like DOS uses, a fixed-width font
(which places every character an even space from each other) like Courier New,
Terminal, Fixedsys, or Topaz New.

     If you are using Windows 9X, Copying the ASCII to Notepad would let you
see it correctly.

     See the FAQ for this newsgroup to see if changing the font for your
newsreader is discussed.

>* What kind of fonts are most used for ascii art? Beside Courier etc.?
