Usenet? Free Agent (what I use)? Deja.Com? I'm not sure what you do with Usenet or Deja (the ASCII pics never came in right on Deja). Try to find a setting that's something like "Fixed Pitch Font". A Fixed Pitch Font is a font like Courier New, the font you use in Windows Notepad. Hope I've helped you in some way.

The only good thing in fixedsys is that it shows the ~ in the right
place, unlike Courier.
i.e. _.-~ looks right in fixedsys, but to get the same result in
courier, you must use _.-"

Calling the top of the line the `right' place for a tilde is misguided at best, and flamebait at worst. It makes sense to put a tilde at the top of the line when it is part of another character, but when it is by itself neither the top nor the middle of the line is inherently the `right' place to put it. Indeed the venerable Concise Oxford Dictionary used to use the tilde as a short way of repeating the main word of an entry, and when they did so they put it in the middle of the line. -- Matthew `mpt' Thomas, Mozilla user interface QA <http://critique.net.nz/project/mozilla/>

I guess that ascii pics should made such as any fixed width font displays them correctly ... It's better to keep in mind that a few characters may vary depending on the font (such as ~ or '). The '~' is good for the wavy effect (to draw water or a small flag for instance) but not good for diagonal lines.

Well, perhaps I didn't make myself clear enough. Let's just say that I don't like fixedsys the way I like courier :) -- Lauri Kangas || ICQ:39143317 || http://koti.mbnet.fi/lkanga/ Myyr� voit olla itse, mutta min� olen onnellinen

That's right indeed, but I'm talking about ascii-artists who draw their diagonal lines using tildes like this: __..--~~ Now that doesn't look diagonal to me, infact it looks like a crocodile :D And I definently don't like MaraZ's way using � in diagonal lines ;P -- Lauri Kangas || ICQ:39143317 || http://koti.mbnet.fi/lkanga/ El�m� vaan on varjo kulkevainen, joka toiselle kuoppaa kaivaa, joka toiselle ei.
