FixedSys works well...  I've heard that Monaco works well
for those with Macs.  Courier, Topaz are other fixed-pitch
fonts...  You must have the fixed-pitch font for the ASCII
art.-- this means that each letter is the same width.  If you
can think of a "typewriter" font, you've got the idea.

Well, SYSTEM font isn`t Fixed-Width anyway!

On my Win95 system I used to use FixedSYS but now I have Plus! so I use
Lucida Console font which looks pretty cool.
