Hi! Does anyone know if you can set up Fortes Agent Newsreader to properly display the Ascii art? Thats Same Size letters, like in DOS. I also would like to thank all the peolpe that posted all the ascii art here, its been fun seeing it. --- Marten Mellberg ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to WiNd*Z� `95, where you click "Start" to "Shutdown". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Click "Options", "General Preferences", "Fonts" Change the "Variable Pitch Body" to be the same as the "Fixed Pitch Body" (on mine it's Courier New, 8pt). Looks GREAT!
