REQ: Information about fonts

I know that courier works to view ascii art correctly. Are there any
other (more attractive) fonts that will view ascii art correctly? I
have tried a few, but none that I have tried worked. 

Thanks alot

Rain

   I use "Infusion", but then saying that it is only available on the Amiga. I
might convert it into a PC font if anyone is interested tho'.

   It's perfect for viewing Ascii art. =o)

You can also use Courier New - It's not a proportional font!

I suppose you're lookin' for "fixed-pitch body font" (hope that's
exact)...
I just know courier, courier new, fixedsys, terminal (the one of win95
notepad), lucida console (really not bad)

I'm assuming you mean Infusion.font, I'll get on it tonight. Should take five
seconds...once I've re-installed the program. =o)

 I could apart from the minor detail that I don't have any PC fonts! If you lot
want me to see these fonts, you're gonna have to mail me them! =o)

 I can (or at least istr) I can convert fonts PC->Amiga, Amiga->PC, Mac->PC,
Mac->Amiga, Amiga->Mac.

Actually I can switch, but I prefer fixedsys for the ASCII art...

account)
