I don't know what a proportional font is. -Sarah
Plus, that was supposed to be a giant frowny face. -Sarah :^(

A proportional font is a font where the letters are different widths. In
a proportional font, these two lines will not line up:
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
In a fixed-width font, however, they will, effectively "decoding" ASCII
art.
Fixed width fonts date back from the days when computers couldn't do
anything better; i.e. MS-DOS. Pretty much the only reason they still
survive is ASCII art and cross-platform compatibility. (i.e. ASCII art
looks the same on a Mac as on a PC)

(i.e. ASCII art >looks the same on a Mac as on a PC) On the contrary, I would expect the bag of tricks of any basic typesetting program to include "typewriter effect", and quite possibly a basic newsprint monotype e.g. Times Monotype. If you've only got 10 or 12 fonts my betting is it has: their favourite serifed newsprint, probably Times New Roman their favourite Sans Serif, looks suspiciously like Helvetica the Eurostyle S.Serif family because it's just so versatile something to use for a Serifed Headline font, like Bookman something very heavy, like stencil type. a script font a typewriter font ringlets, everybody does ringlets (variously named) playbill type, because everybody recognises it gothic (old english) type, gawd knows why as nobody likes it. Am I missing anything obvius? |~/ |~/ ~~|;'^';-._.-;'^';-._.-;'^';-._.-;'^';-._.-;||';-._.-;'^';||_.-;'^'0-|~~ P | Woof Woof, Glug Glug ||____________|| 0 | P O | Who Drowned the Judge's Dog? | . . . . . . .
