That's the way to do it. ASCII art should (IMO) only be done in a monospace (constant-width) font such as Courier, Topaz, Lucida Console[*], ... since that ensures that all letters are the same width and the art will look (more or less) the same for everybody. With proportional fonts, you can never be sure whether your image will look the same... if you're making art in Arial and the receiver has Times New Roman, or Palatino, or whatever, then perhaps his space character will be wider but his semicolon is narrower or whatever, and things won't line up properly. Your horse and teddy, for example, looked rather strange when viewed in a monospace font (Courier New for me) since it didn't line up properly. Cheers, Philip [*] different people have different preferences... sometimes artists will indicate which font they used to make a picture as their preferred font; it sometimes matters in things such as whether lower-case letter ell (l) has serifs or not or whether a tilde (~) is in the middle or at the top. Things like that. But in general, you can view most pictures in any monospace font. -- Philip Newton <nos...@gmx.li> That really is my address; no need to remove anything to reply. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

Thanks Philip I have now set my messages to read in Courier and amazing I can see all the drawings properly! And yes, the teddy does go weird! Learn something new every day! Thanks Andrea
