It isn't "ASCII" art, but I think that
the following sites on proportional text art
might be of some value to you.

The MACROHOUSE

 MacroDept 
 macro links.. programs, utilities for proportional font text art

Well I know I might get flamed for this.

I've read the faq and sso on, but - Ii really need some art done in arial
font. The thing is, that I'm going to use it in a place where I can't just
change the font, :( <-- only ascii i can think of that works in (almost)
every font.

Paul Burton (Author of FigWin) made a little program called Anyfont which
can respace ascii art to work in proportional fonts such as Arial.

I think you can grab a copy from the FigWin directory of the FIGlet website:
ftp://ftp.internexus.net/pub/figlet/program/windows/

Failing that, drop me an email and I'll see if I can get you a copy ... I
know it's on one of my disks somewhere. (Beware munged reply address... real
address in sig, if you stick it togther)

It's what the AOL users call their text art pictures
made in proportional font Arial-10 and which often
contain non-ASCII characters.
