The second page in lynx:

                                    standard ASCII characters (table) (p1 of 2)
                         standard ASCII characters

    Your browser doesn't support tables? Here is another standard ASCII
                                   chart.

     Here is a chart of standard ASCII characters to be used if you are
    going to post your ASCII-art in the newsgroup alt.ascii-art. Examine
   it carefully. Note that there are no characters that look like    
    or any letters with accents. In fact, you might think the characters
   at your disposal are rather dull. Drawing ASCII-art can be likened to
   writing a sonnet or haiku. It is very challenging to confine yourself
   to these few characters to create pictures that look like anything at
     all. But lots of people have managed it very well. You can see for
     yourself by going to this page of links to other ASCII-art sites.

                          SP stands for Space bar
   No, no, no, you MUSTN'T use ones that are not on the chart if you are
        going to post your creations in the newsgroup alt.ascii-art!

     Depending on your browser, the following illustration may not make
     sense to you. It's not my fault, or yours for that matter, but the
     various browser programmers' faults for not standardizing things a
                               long time ago!

   Remember! If you are planning to post your ASCII art in the newsgroup
                  alt.ascii-art, please do the following: 

                       Copy the following i's and m's

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii  
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

     into whatever you are using to create your ASCII art. If the lines
     look uneven like this (the bottom two lines might have a different
           size of letters but you should still get the picture):

                      iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
                      mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
           proportionalfont(timesnewroman) iiiiimmmmm(gif 1.48Kb)

    you need to change your font. However, if they line up symmetrically
    and look like this (the bottom two lines might have a different size
             of letters but you should still get the picture):

                      iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
                      mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
                  fixedfont(courier) iiiiimmmmm(gif 1.6Kb)

              Congratulations! You are using the correct font.


              
    Naturally, you should feel free to type out keyboard art using many
     different fonts and characters. Exchange your creations with your
     e-friends via e-mail or put them on your webpage but PLEASE do not
      post any nonstandard keyboard art in the newsgroup alt.ascii-art
                 because you will just get a lot of grief.
