Hi,
I'm thinking to setup an online chess game, and I'd like to use
ascii-pieces, aka pawn, king, queen, and so on, but I'd like to have
not more than 5 lines for each piece.
Any hint/help ???
Andrea

them to eliminate the nonstandard character though.

There is still a non-standard ascii character there - and overscore -
Topaz new2 doesn't pick it up...
