The only Alice I thought of was Alice of wonderland.

I was thinking of Johnny Five in Short Circuit 2 when I wrote it.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096101/

In the movie though he was really paraphrasing from an old american 50's sitcom 
: "The Honeymooners" in which a husband displeased with his wife Alice threatens 
her (often) with a one-way ticket to the moon.
http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0042114/usercomments

It's a famous tv-quote and if you google for it you can find lots of entries.

LGB writes it reminds him of Jackie Gleason .. that was the actor that played 
that husband in "The Honeymooners"

Nice one .. I'm a big fan of Sebastians work myself.

And a showcase of one of the fonts I'm working on.
This one is very similar to amc3line

Want a smaller font ?

Committed is the right word alright *g*

It's not a prerequisite for enjoyment, that you understand the background for 
the "To the moon Alice!" comment.

It works either way too.

Yeah it's an oldie .. but a good one.
Some of your pictures only get posted in d.a.r.a , so I've begun to read that 
too .. and even post a bit. You might have noticed.
Or not .. I asked you a question there , you didn't answer.

BTW I went by your webpage today and saw all your great work (and felt bad about 
not updating my own webpage)

The font however looked wrong to me .. So I changed browser and found that it 
looks right in IE , but for some reason Firebird (which I use) renders the font 
slightly larger which doesn't look quite right.

Could you modify the stylesheet to specify the font size so it looks right ?

Also a tip .. some people prefer a different font for viewing ascii-art.
With alternate stylesheets you can give the visitor a choice between fonts (and 
all other styles if you wish)

Modern browsers support this.

As an example here a snip from Mozillazine.org that offers an extra stylesheet 
called afterdark that visitors can choose.
The code is simple :

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/frontpage.css" type="text/css">
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" title="AfterDark" href="/afterdark.css" 
type="text/css">

The first <link> is the default stylesheet
The rel="alternate stylesheet" in the second specifies an alternate stylesheet.

You could put another viewfont in this .. or choose to display white on black.

Christian :)

I did. As you yourself might have noticed. ;)

I'm sorry. Must've forgotten to reply (though I did intend to). :/
I meant your picture in
Message-ID: <3f45537c$0$48903$edf...@dtext02.news.tele.dk> .

I tested the site in Opera and some Mozilla based browsers (e.g. 
Firebird).

Specifying font sizes is bad, imho.
You can't possibly foresee the different environments your visitors use.
It's much better style to let them choose their own fonts and font sizes 
in their browsers preferences.

I thought of that. However, since I drew my pictures in 'Courier New' 
(and think that they look best with that font), I decided to let the 
ASCII pictures display with the same font.
For people who don't have that font installed I specified the 
alternative 'monospaced', which I think is perfectly acceptable 
behaviour.

That may be a nice feature if you maintain a site which is visited 
regularly. However, it's just a gimmick and I don't think there'd be 
many people who would appreciate this.
You may of course prove me wrong. ;)

hi Guys ...

AFAIK the term 'monospace' obtains a more consistent result
like this:
       PRE {font-family:fixed,monaco,monospace}
                          /     |       \
                      unix    macOS    win32

so that the user's preferences (or app-defaults) settings
can provide preferred font-style type information

Can you link to a implementation of this ?

My gripe with Sebastians page is that I CAN'T override the font settings .. not 
without using the option in Firebird to scale *all* the fonts , and if I do this 
, I will have to undo this when I visit the next site.

Specificly the ' char looks blocky when the font size if too big, and if it's 
much to big the .:; and , char look bad too.

The artwork displays fine in Mozilla Thunderbird with the same font settings.
This lead me to belive that something on Sebastians page cause the font to be 
render in a bigger than normal size that make the ' char blocky

I don't think that's a solution.
'Fixed' and 'monaco' are two specific fixed-width fonts and 'monospace' 
is the platform independent(!) generic family name.

I remember adjusting my font sizes in Firebird, too. Somehow the 
monospace font size is dependent on the overall font size (don't ask me 
how exactly). Took me quite a while to figure out how to make it dislay 
all fonts in approximately the same size.

I wouldn't know how.
There aren't any font sizes specified in my stylesheet (except 
"font-size:smaller" for the footer).

I rather suppose there's something wrong with Firebird's font 
implementation or at least a very strange way of adjusting font options.

Feel free to tell me where the error in my stylesheet is 
(http://www.ascii-art.net/ascii.css) but I fear the 
declaration is correct.

Sebastian :)

ok CeeJay
i have tried it in:
  http://www.shieldwolf.demon.co.uk/art-glry.htm
the font-size is also defined to make it fit 640x480 pix
let me know if it breaks (or other gripes)

altho' it does look different in various web-browsers
with different settings ... depends on the browser and
its capabilities


>'Fixed' and 'monaco' are two specific fixed-width fonts and 'monospace' 
>is the platform independent(!) generic family name.

hi Sebastian
i knew 'monaco' was specific but not 'fixed'
nor that 'monospace' is platform independent

however ... i have found cases where the web-application
programs being used responded only to one or other of:
  fixed || monospace

and *my* association of them to the respective operating
systems is where i have most often found them needed and
'monaco' like 'topaz' comes highly recommended for macOS 

i looked at your code http://www.ascii-art.net/ascii.css
saw it was fine and neat with "Courier New" suggested as
the "best-viewed-with" font

the only odd thing was SamSpade1.14 made it look like
"td.footer {" had a closing brace '}' missing but that
may have just been me closing the connection too soon?

Hi :)
'Fixed' is a standard font for X (at least on my Debian GNU/Linux 
system).
'Monospace' is defined as _the_ generic family name for fixed-width 
fonts in CCS: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1#font-family

> however ... i have found cases where the web-application

That's because they don't follow the definition, then. :)

As for your example (http://www.shieldwolf.demon.co.uk/art-glry.htm):
Since you defined "fixed,monaco,monospace" my browsers displayed the 
<pre>-code in 'fixed' (a specific font!), which is correct.
The generic family name is defined by the last value.

Seems okay. :)

Nahh .. that implies that Sebastian is lefthanded .. which I'm sure he isn't.
Also you need to make the fingertips look better.
F.x the fingertip above the "t" should not end in the ` char enven though you 
flipped it .. "'" still looks better .. and the detail on the pinky seems to be gone

Hope not, as it is a diddle from yours from the orginal. No disrespect intended.
Tried a few ways ( ` , ) from the quick flip, ( hand in the cookie jar ) non of it 
look well at all, but did look interesting enough for a post depicting one possible
way a lefthander writes. As for myself i have seen not many write as i do in where
the top of the paper is pointing almost toward your chest, printing or writing the 
letters right to left. It is for most part almost upside down as you are writing and
reading it. Turn it back to the norm, anybody can read it then.
