Visit: http://www.surfplaza.com/figlet/ there is a treasure of fonts there.

     Junior, any characters that do not appear on the keyboard are not
considered ASCII art usable. This is because some of these characters do
strange things to different news group readers people use to read this group
(like crashing the reader). Also, people all around the world read this group
with all sorts of operating systems, and those characters you are getting with
(alt+something else) will appear as jibberish on their system.
      The only characters that will translate to 99% of the machines are the
ones on the keys of the keyboard only.
     Also, this isn't just an AOL area, from what you were saying about chat
areas it sounded like this was your impression. Newsgroups are like web pages,
they are a part of the internet that anyone anywhere in the world with any
Internet Service Provider can read.
     You should really read the FAQ for this group, it will help a lot.
