Fonts to use for ASCIIArt in Windows

Courier New *
FixedSys *
Topaz New
Courier *
Lucida Console (* with MSPlus!)

I set the font on this text to the font itself so you can get a preview.
If you don`t have one of these fonts, it will be written in your default
font. Fonts marked with an asterisk (*) are supplied with windows.

Wow... my first (and probably last) HTML posting

    question???????/
    what's the best font to post in???? I used note pad (win95) which
doesn't seem to allow me to change the font (as it seems  to be a system
font) to design this art, then the friggen thing looked all hokie when I
went to post in in the arial font. Courier looks a little better but not
the best??/
