How do you mail ascii art without it being torn apart???? jd
>From: jdu...@aol.com (JDuyck9436) >Message-id: <ber...@netcom.com> >How do you mail ascii art without it being torn apart???? I see that you are on AOL- At present, AOL only has one font-- Arial. Arial is a proportional font. For instance the W is wider than the I. All ASCII art is made in a non-proportional font-- or fixed-width font. Some examples of these are: courier, FixedSys, or Monaco... In these fonts, letters are the same width. The reason your ASCII art is being "torn apart" has to do w/the font you are using. But don't worry-- about 95% of the rest of internet has options for different fonts-- they will be able to see the ASCII art you send- so long as they use a fixed width font.. And Good news! AOL is supposed to be adding font options to their 4.0 update. -joan -- _ (( )_, , joan stark .--. \ '/ /.\ <spu...@juno.com> ) / \= /O o\ _ ( / _/ /' o O| ,_( ))___ (` `-| )_ /o_O_'_( \' _ `\ ) jgs `""""` =`---<___/---' "` ASCII ART GALLERY: <http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7373/>
