I've been viewing this group for awhile, and I found it mostly
unimpressing.

Then one day I went to save one of the pieces (with the believed
creator, or at least poster, for quoting)

When I saved it in notepad--it looked SOOO much better!!!

What do you guys create your art in?

And how the hell do I change my settings on free agent to make this
shit show good and proper?

Change your font to FixedSys or Courier.

Go to Options/Display Preferences/Fonts and uncheck the Use variable pitched
body font-checkmark. That's the way it goes in Agent, at least, so Free Agent
probably won't be TOO different. :-)

What do you mean? I use a fixed font for almost everything I do.. then again,
I've come all the way from C-64 via Amiga.. I'm quite used to fixed width
fonts. :-) (of course both machines can do variable width, but the default is
fixed)
