   I imagine that the 1.5 line font would be good if you were working in 
a small space, and you needed a little more room between the graphic and 
the lettering.

   How about a Figlet font?

That was my thoughts on it exactly.

I designed it on a 50 line VGA display and posted it before I viewed it in
25 line mode.  Oops! Boy was it ugly.

I played with it some more before I put it away:

1.5 line font by DSI

|\  |) /~ |~) |[ |[ /~_ |_| |   | |/ |  |\/| |\| (~) |) (~) |)
'~` '' `- '-' `- '  `-' ' ' ' `-' '` `- '  ' ' ' `-' '  `-+ '`

(~ ~|~ | | | / | | \/ \/ ~/
-'  '  `-' `'  `^' '` -' '-

I'll leave the numbers (and punctuation) up the the real ascii artists.

Have a great day,
