There is no font type Arial... It's just some cheap ripoff by Microsod.
But hey, Mister Bill would have had to pay for an original font, and
that wasn't worth it...

(And an original font would not fit into the Microsod policy of stealing 
ideas from others...)

By the way Marcus, of course you don't want to use a helvetica (yes, 
that's an original font) because that's a proportional font. You need
a fixedwidth font...

Topaz8 fits in an 8*8 matrix, right?

Not a gifscii. It was a picture from a magazine, I had it next
to my keyboard with one eye on it while drawing it with the
keyboard on the screen, and then going over the top by adding
too much detail ;-) In some fonts it works very good, in
some it just falls apart though.

Hmm, I've been thinking of that too.. Maybe a bitmap font?-)

Are you referring to the 2.0-> or <-1.3 Topaz? (imho, 2.0-> is better)

Back when people still traded, they used a font called Pot-Noodle.
That was especially created for Ascii-art, having (at least)
lengthened /, \, | and _ chars.

Imho, art looked a lot better with that. (I still have it somewhere,
if you want, I could email it.)

*lol* :D

When i first saw the pic (in courier new) i thought you gave
that shiny high-tech plane a furry look on purpose.

Yes, in topaz i'm starting to recognize every single detail.
It's even better than i imagined!!

Many thanks for the info, lennert. Another mystery unveiled. :)

You can get an Amiga Emulator for your PC called UAE... The Un*x Amiga Emulator.
DOS and Win95 versions are available. It can use your HDD as an Amiga HDD which
would mean ASCII art could be created and saved ready for posting in windows.

Not quite what you wanted, but it is good!

The Amigas OS is only 1.5MB in size... compared to 100MB+ for Win95!

It is free and i already use it but its impractical as the ibm floppy
drive cannot read amiga disks so disk images have to be done.. very well
if you have an amiga with a hard drive and mre than 1mb memory to creae
images on to use on the pc.

Besides i don't want to have to keep loading up the emulator to view
things.

Even though the amiga os is far superior to win95. That'd be a thought
if somebody could create a replica amiga os on the pc that can rival
windows.

Not hard to rival anything microsoftcock makes though.

From the emulating the Amiga FAQ(Which I used to mantain).......

<faq>
Are there any Amiga emulators for the PC/Mac/Linux etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


There are two main ones(And both are FREE!),

UAE, which you can get from, http://www.netrunner.com.br/dosuae/
Fellow, which you can get from, 
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/5244/

Which is better UAE or Fellow,
---------------------------------------------
UAE is the more advanced of the two, and has a wider range of
capabilities.

Fellow, Which is better for playing games, and is slightly faster than
UAE, But on the downside it has less features than UAE.

'-------------------------

It is freely available from many places on the internet - Try looking on Yahoo!
under an Emulation section, if it has one. I bought mine along with a suite of
other stuff from Epic CDROM Marketing in the UK, under the name of 'The Amiga
Emulator CD'.

There are DOS and Win95 versions available, as well as the Un*x version--- Make
sure you get the right one for your system!

But you can get around this, you can by a specialist drive, or you can
get
an adapter so you can use an external amiga drive with your PC.

I'm afraid your wrong there, I've got a 1mb Amiga and I can make disk
images 
easily.

If you keep your ears to the ground I think you'll find thats what AI is
creating.
