I don't grok the question.

Most works are like that.  Especially any that are hight detail works
where using one fixed font will cause it to be top/bottom squished as
there is a lot of variablity in the hight of different fonts.

I have only done a few ascii works this year and not many last year
but I expect that sometime next year I will be without TV and will be
doing a lot more ascii work between illustrating, learning guitar and
brewing.
