Hi,  

I'm new to the owrld of ascii art, and was just wondering since many of the
images don't come out clearly what the magic number was.  what siz font
should I be using, should I be using a particular font? etc.  Just a
(stupid) question.

Try using the font Courier New, size 8 for best viewing.
