Always use a "non-proportional" (also called "monospaced") font for ascii pictures ("Courier" is such a font). How to tell if you use a non-proportional font? If these two lines have the same lenght then you probably do: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 2. NEVER put tabs in ascii pictures! Why? Because they look different in different computers, they can even look different in different programs in the same computer. 3. Make sure to only use characters from the "Yes, yes, yes, MUST use these" part of this ascii table: ================================================================= | No, no, no, MUSTN'T use these: | | | | 0 NUL| 1 SOH| 2 STX| 3 ETX| 4 EOT| 5 ENQ| 6 ACK| 7 BEL| | 8 BS | 9 HT | 10 NL | 11 VT | 12 NP | 13 CR | 14 SO | 15 SI | | 16 DLE| 17 DC1| 18 DC2| 19 DC3| 20 DC4| 21 NAK| 22 SYN| 23 ETB| | 24 CAN| 25 EM | 26 SUB| 27 ESC| 28 FS | 29 GS | 30 RS | 31 US | | | | |---------------------------------------------------------------| | Yes, yes, yes, MUST use these: | | | | 32 SP | 33 ! | 34 " | 35 # | 36 $ | 37 % | 38 & | 39 ' | | 40 ( | 41 ) | 42 * | 43 + | 44 , | 45 - | 46 . | 47 / | | 48 0 | 49 1 | 50 2 | 51 3 | 52 4 | 53 5 | 54 6 | 55 7 | | 56 8 | 57 9 | 58 : | 59 ; | 60 < | 61 = | 62 > | 63 ? | | 64 @ | 65 A | 66 B | 67 C | 68 D | 69 E | 70 F | 71 G | | 72 H | 73 I | 74 J | 75 K | 76 L | 77 M | 78 N | 79 O | | 80 P | 81 Q | 82 R | 83 S | 84 T | 85 U | 86 V | 87 W | | 88 X | 89 Y | 90 Z | 91 [ | 92 \ | 93 ] | 94 ^ | 95 _ | | 96 ` | 97 a | 98 b | 99 c |100 d |101 e |102 f |103 g | |104 h |105 i |106 j |107 k |108 l |109 m |110 n |111 o | |112 p |113 q |114 r |115 s |116 t |117 u |118 v |119 w | |120 x |121 y |122 z |123 { |124 | |125 } |126 ~ | | |---------------------------------------------------------------| | No, no, no, MUST'NT use this one either: | | |127 DEL| |---------------------------------------------------------------| | Anything that is not in the MUST USE section is automatically | | in the MUST NOT USE section!

Even if you have done 1, 2, and 3 above correctly you may still end up with a blurb if your program "does things" to your artwork...
