You people are in the dark ages of ascii, if you are still using Fixedsys
or a Courier font.  The only proper font there is is Topaz New.  Get Topaz
New, or stay hidden in your caves, never to see the light that shines from
any decent ascii pix.  Believe me, only a troglodyte would stick with those
other, off-name fonts.  If you font, font with Topaz New, if you don't
font, then you don't need to.

Absolutely! Topaz New is *the* best font for ASCII...and fortunately for
you it's available from my homepage at:- http://www.hangar18.demon.co.uk
It's based on the Amiga Topaz font which was excellent for ASCII...still
is excellent for some, no doubt ;)

I'm getting to like this shameless plugging. Especially when someone else
does it for me!
