HELP: Microsoft cappy fonts
alt.ascii-art
· 1 message · 11 May 1998
In the grand tradition of microsoft crap, the fonts in windows do not
show the ascii characters properly.
Is there a font out there that will show off ascii art like it should be
seen instead of providing symbols that dont look like what theys hould
and are proportioned wrong in height elevation.
EG ~ should be at the top of this line but it's in the middle with the
font i'm using.
Thanks in advance
Clint
