Take a look at the e's and m's in a proportional font. The reason I
chose them is that at first they seem that they would have about the
same width....

However, IF I were going to change the chart, I guess I would go into
the ascii-chars bin and change it to something along these lines:

        }| This chart should be symmetrical.|{
        }| If it isn't, change your font so |{
        }| there's a box around the chart.  |{
        }|                                  |{
        }| abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456 |{
        }| ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!@#$%^ |{
