Does anyone have trouble seing it as a box ?

Yup! .. ever seen an old TV tuned off (no jokes about being tuned off please
.. ok maybe just a few)

Yes you see it correctly although I just found out that the TV is still
highascii ... it's so troublesome writing standard ascii when standard
keypresses allow you to do nonstandard chars

A long while ago i saw a shade-diagram for ASCII, going from the lightest
char to the darkest one, does anyone have that in his/her collection?

The best would be to have such a diagram for each font because the same
character can have a different dark/light value in differents fonts.

Any of the other ADA mirrors should work just as well. Or you can
send mail to ad...@itz.pp.sci.fi with "index" in the subject.

Neh, i'm quite reluctant when it comes to mailing people whom i've never
"met" in the groups.

You may have a point there, but the most commonly used font for viewing
and/or editing ascii-art is Courier, i guess that diagram would be made
with that font in mind.
If not, i could still switch to Terminal :-)

in the days of my youth the above table was the only thing
that could be displayed on a computer terminal

all the chars 128 and above were either undefined or used
for multilingual variations (mostly European)

sometimes corner angles and half-tone (hash) chars were
accessible but often required a special code-sequence
to switch the video-terminal into a different mode

user-defined-fonts or font-switching was almost unheard of

OEM fonts were defined by the major VDU manufacturers and they
were free to define the char range 128-256 as they pleased

modern fonts today still inherit these properties

thus the only guaranteed char shapes in _all_ fonts
are the chars produced by the codes 32 thru' 127 decimal
