Anyone know where I can find some ascii art in a proportional font like Arial? Thanks...

Because proportional text art is not portable, I expect most of what you'll find will be designed for a specific application. The only common use of proportional fonts I've encountered is SMS art, but you might find pictures for instant message software or web forums. Are you looking for art to use in a particular application? If so, post the name of the app; maybe someone else will know where to look. Sorry for such a vague answer. -- Harry Mason ("hjm200.ecs@soton@ac@uk" =~ tr/@./.@/)
I was just looking for some to be used in an instant messenger that does not support changing the font...

Which instant messenger? Is it one publically available? -- Harry Mason ("hjm200.ecs@soton@ac@uk" =~ tr/@./.@/)
