you can kick that variable width font in the nnnnnnuts...!! good pic, bad font -- Lauri Kangas - 39143317 <lkanga @ mbnet.fi> ----------------------- "I don't care WHO you are but your not walking on the water while I'm fishing"
>good pic, bad font >
I (the original poster) had trouble with it too. Someone sent it to me from a
chat room & here is what I had to do to see it right.
Key it up in .WPS form (word processor)
Then change the font to New Times Roman.
Some other software other than WPS may work but that was the one I used.
Your right----Not a great font.
But apparently that was the one the person in the chat room was using.
Here's a fixed-width version:

still not that great but you get the gist of it... :)

I still encourage you to only use ASCII characters. And now I did my own chart-file *smirks* Here it goes: ,---------------------. | ASCII character table | `---------------------' xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The numbers show you the hex-code of `. 0123456789ABCDEF the characters (e.g. the letter 'C' has `,----------------. the code 43). 2x | !"#$%&'()*+,-./| 3x |0123456789:;<=>?| Only the characters that you can find 4x |@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO| in this box are called ASCII, you 5x |PQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_| shouldn't use any other. 6x |`abcdefghijklmno| Also you should see this as a box. 7x |pqrstuvwxyz{|}~ | If you don't then you have to change `----------------' to a fixed-width font (e.g. COURIER). Stick to these simple rules and you will have more fun in news:alt.ascii-art I hope you don't be upset with my request - but hey, this is alt.ascii-art and what would it be if you aren't using ascii for your drawings..... /| /| // / || /| /| // //.-' /|\/ //| /| |\ / |/ //| /|/ |/ |//',./ / | / / | / | / / | / / \`-.\\ | |\| |||' / /|//.-'/ `~',.--'___\'_/_\\__/ / /,./, /.-.-==-./ __ / / //. / |/ \=,_ _.=- \./\_.-' \-'`, '`--' ,'\/ `-.`--. ,./ / \ , __,.-.__ ,/ ___ / /-./~__,.-, I hope I haven't missed out any non-ascii characters. It still looks a little strange to me but hey, maybe that's just art and I'm a dumbass ;-))) I must start writing an non-ascii-detector-script for vim.

Maybe, if you are using only ASCII characters it would be nicely viewable. E.g., the line down to the left looks like an A with a ^ above it - is that the thing it should look like? You know - only the characters with cleared highbit are called ASCII characters. To be precise you shouldn't use any character with a hex-code other than 0x20 to 0x7E - for below 0x20 there are the control-characters (not printable) and 0x7F is the backspace/delete. All other characters shouldn't be used at all.... So please keep it clear ASCII or most people would have problem viewing it - and you should also resist posting them to a.a-a HTH! -- Gerfried Fuchs <URL:mailto:alf...@innocent.com> <URL:http://alfie.ist.org/alfie/>

Looks good in this newsgroup format---but not in a text reader. In a text
reader it is way too flat & squatty.
Also----OOOOOppps I made a mistake. Being a newbie to the series---I found out
that this isnt the boy named ASH KETCHUM.
But instead the Professor.
My mistake.
