From the FAQ: # ======================================================================== # [3] What does ASCII mean? # ======================================================================== # ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) # 7-bit as defined in ISO-646 is a basic set of 128 numbered symbols # which almost all kinds of computer can display. Here are the ones # that are used for ASCII art: # # 032 [space] 048 0 064 @ 080 P 096 ` 112 p # 033 ! 049 1 065 A 081 Q 097 a 113 q # 034 " 050 2 066 B 082 R 098 b 114 r # 035 # 051 3 067 C 083 S 099 c 115 s # 036 $ 052 4 068 D 084 T 100 d 116 t # 037 % 053 5 069 E 085 U 101 e 117 u # 038 & 054 6 070 F 086 V 102 f 118 v # 039 ' 055 7 071 G 087 W 103 g 119 w # 040 ( 056 8 072 H 088 X 104 h 120 x # 041 ) 057 9 073 I 089 Y 105 i 121 y # 042 * 058 : 074 J 090 Z 106 j 122 z # 043 + 059 ; 075 K 091 [ 107 k 123 { # 044 , 060 < 076 L 092 \ 108 l 124 | # 045 - 061 = 077 M 093 ] 109 m 125 } # 046 . 062 > 078 N 094 ^ 110 n 126 ~ # 047 / 063 ? 079 O 095 _ 111 o On my computer your picture looks like this: ___ '_' '_' '_' '_' _|_ \ (_) (_) (_) (_) |__/ because it is configured to display the Latin-1 encoding, but others may see it differently. This is why ASCII art sticks to the list above. > _____ ___ > / ___/ / __ __ __ /__ / > / /__/ _ \ / -_)(_- (_- _/_ / > \_ _/_//_/\__/ /__)/__)/___/ > www.chess3.com It looks like your sig was drawn in a proportional font. Because there is so much variation between different proportional font, ASCII art only uses fixed width fonts. I use "6x13"; many people use "Lucida Console" or "Courier". There is a program to generate text similar to your sig, called FIGlet. You can download FIGlet from http://ianchai.50megs.com/figlet.html or use it online at http://www.network-science.de/ascii/ For more information the alt.ascii-art FAQ can be found at http://www.ascii-art.de/ascii/faq.html Hope this helps. -- Harry Mason ("hjm200.ecs@soton@ac@uk" =~ tr/@./.@/)
