I would add that often the problem is simpler and all that is required is to open Window's Clipboard Viewer and change Display to "OEM Text." If you use another clipboard program, deselect auto and pick another format. Many variables beyond what is cited in this and previous postings affect the results of ASCII art appearance. Not only does font, pica, monitor resolution, and editor settings affect the display, but also the keyboard language used. As the numbers of international users broaden, we will replace ASCII with one of the ISO standards which have more options and more characters. Something to keep in mind for the creator as well as the viewer... Cheers.
