|I'm tinkering with a couple three line fonts of my own, but I don't want
|to reinvent some of those wheels if someone's already made them.
Here is one I commonly use on C-Net bbs's, since the conference is limited
to 3 lines per entry...
_ |_ _ _| _ |~ _ |_ + | | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _|_
(_| |_) (_ (_| (-' ~|~ (_| | | | | |< | | | | | | (_) |_) (_| | `-, |

|_| \/ \/\/ >< \/ /

There is also a dot font I use quite often:
... .. ... .. ... ... ... . . ... . . . . . . . . ... ... ...
:.: :.: : : : :. :. : .. :.: : : :.' : :`.': :`.: : : :.: : :
: : :.' :.. :.' :.. : :..' : : .:. :.: : : :.. : : : : :.: : :::.
... ... ... . . . . . . . . . . ...
:.: :.. : : : : : : : `.' `.' .'
:`. ..: : :.: `.' :.'.: : : : :..
The numbers come out very well:
. ... ... . . ... ... ... ... ... ...
: ..: .: :.: :.. :.. .' :.: :.: : :
: :.. ..: : ..: :.: : :.: ..: :.:
I would also like to make an entire font using the typeface in my sig, but
it is very difficult for some letters.

Well here's my own version of this font: 8P"Y8 8 " 8 8o8o8 It's not great, but it's legible!! 8""Y8 8 :<8 Now, Zack, post _your version! 8ood8 We were talking about this font, and the fact that the 4 on our screens is different, so I 8P"Y8 used Y instead. I have noticed some people using 8 0-8 9 for the purpose of rounding edges, but this also 8bod8 looks odd on my terminal. Oh well. 8""Y8 BTW I diddled this weeks ago, when I first saw Zack's 8 0 8 .sig. 8ood8 |~\ _ /~~~\ |\_|\_ S ___ ___ 8"""8 | < | | |\| /~_ | |_ (| o o |) | =| =| S |}==| |=={| 8 >8 |_/ |_| | | \_| |_ |_ | o | | =| =\_.
