There are many versions of Pegasus; here are two I have done:

I use the word processor, PC-Write, which has only one monospaced, non-
proportional font. There is no other font available...makes life 
simple. :-)

PC-Write puts 80 characters across the screen over a screen width of 
9.6 inches and it puts 24 rows/lines of this text in a 7 inch screen 
depth.  

On my screen these circles look almost perfectly circular but on 
other peoples' screens they can look like elongated ovals or 
squashed elipses:

I also use Free Agent to post and read articles and to get a picture 
which looks about the same with minimum distortion I have settled on 
New Courier 10-point Bold as the best option. The only problem being 
the position of the ~ tilde character which New courier registers at 
a lower level than other fonts.  

Free Agent's Fixed, Mono, Non-proportional font range, except 
COURIER NEW, is somewhat limited to: 

   COURIER  10  12  15 point
   COURIER NEW  8 9 10 11 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 36 48 72 point
   FIXEDSYS  9 point only.
   TERMINAL 9 point only.

All the Free Agent fonts have the options of Regular, Italic, Bold, 
Bold Italic. 

I don't use Free Agent much to actually create pictures but it can 
be useful to check out what my picture looks like in Free Agent's
Courier New Bold 10 Point.

They talk about WSYWIG ( What You See Is What You Get ) but 
WYSINNWSES ( What You See Is Not Necessarily What Someone Else Sees ).

Bye,

Thanks, both of you. :^)

I use the either the terminal or fixedsys fonts for wordpad to view
ascii art. Personally though, I prefer to use notepad with the system
fonts set to a terminal-type font. You have to edit the registry to do
this and I have have no idea what happens if you do it wrong. In
win3.1 you had to edit system.ini and if you chose an incompatible
font windows would refuse to start so you had to edit it again with
edit. To change the win95 registry go to
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG/Display/Settings and change the fixedfon.fon to
vgaoem.fon and change fonts.fon to vgasys.fon and change oemfonts.fon
to vgaoem.fon and notepad will display all this cool ascii very
nicely. If you backup your registry first you can even mess around
with other fonts for the system menus to see what you get.
