fonts.

Hi everyone!!
I just switched to using Outlook Express.
It seems that I can not view the ascii art pics here. I have tried looking
for a fixedfont, like I had in my previous newsreader, but cannot find one.

Can someone please suggest a font, or way to be able to see the fine artwork
produced here? I have tried Courier but that doesn't work either.

Thanks in advance!!
:)!karen

Got to menu Tool
 open options
 chose read tad
  hit the button that says font
   you will want Character set Western
    proportional font Courier New
    Fixed fixed-width font Courier new
    whatever size you prefer

I hit the button to to "set as default"

That should work...of course I set every program I could find to match & I
set them all one right after another so there might even be another way to
set your whole computers default. If there is I found it & I couldn't tell
ya where it is.

The most valuable use of time...is to waste it.

Assuming you use IE do the same thing in that...it might work?

I did the same in word, excell, notepad, wordpad, Internet explorer and
outlook (I think I did it somewhere alse but don't remember).

I use win98 & IE4....& the help files on the subject are not very helpful.

good luck

If you are using outlook express 4 (or OE5, if you are willing to use an
untested patch on it!) you can find a registry patch and instructions for
use in the ASCIIArt Documents Archive. I couldn't identify your location so
I can't tell you your closest mirror, so I'll just give you my mirror:

http://website.lineone.net/~martin.atkins/ada/aaaoepatch.txt

And if you go to just:
http://website.lineone.net/~martin.atkins/ada/
you can find a whole host of other ASCII Art Documents, and the
international mirrors list.

Hope this helps,
-Martin

Hi there,

If you're using Netscape (at least), try making sure the ASCII art is in 'fixed
width'

[][ hi ...

i notice you are using these:-
   X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.3110.1
   X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3

the OE i have is 4.72.3110.5

i have used a registry patch made by Martin Atkins to provide the
font 'fixedsys' to OE when using Win95 ... it works fine

check it out!

;                    (Newsgroups only)
