What people on this group call "ascii art" must use a fixed width font. This
ensures everyone can see the picture, because variable width fonts vary
greatly between different fonts and different computers. Pictures using other
fonts are usually called "text art". It's best to put this kind of art in a
Web page instead of posting it here, because most readers won't see it
properly.
