I don't have any real answer to your question, since people rarely make ASCII Art for a specific proportional font; unlike with monospace fonts, there's very little chance that it will be viewable by someone on a different system or with a different display resolution. In your case, remember that there are several different sizes of MS Sans Serif, and I'm sure ASCII Art will not move completely flawlessly between them. I'm not really familiar with DC++ except by name, but I think you'd be better off skipping the ASCII Art for that particular application, as you'll probably find not all users are using MS Sans Serif anyway. (it's an open source app, so even if it isn't an option you can bet people will hack the source and so it probably will be soon enough) Sorry 'bout that. -Claire

Nope. Just on vacation. Once I get a dedicated *nix box I will be
backproducing asciipr0n and ascii butterflies. Once I finish the
butterflies I will move onto another theem project.

Five years ago we were at tail end of the computer boom. Five years before that it was the begining of the computer boom. Now its in a cooling down or laul.

Possibly coining a new term ( high ascii art marcos or ascii art marcos) all would be rtf files more than likely, actaully its good idea for texts art. >What can I say?

These are technical things. The result of messing with that stuff is that you will limit your audience. > What can I say? You guys are in a rut.
