[ 8< yet another proportional-font-picture 8< ]

This is how it turned out:

http://jota.sm.luth.se:80/~e93-vkn/pics/rubbish/bssgrl.dum.gif

You are not supposed to "compensate" for anything! You are supposed to
use a different FONT! Try "courier"! (do you have a program called
"notepad"? use that)

When you have a good font these two lines will be of the same length
(without any "compensating"):

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I'm sorry to tell you that it's still wrong.

1.) Paste your picture into WordPad (do you have WordPad?) using the
ARIAL font.
2.) Then paste it in again using the COURIER font. (see the difference?
That's what we are all seeing.)
3.) Adjust the picture so that it looks right in COURIER.
4.) Copy and paste it into your newsreader sender. Don't worry if it
looks awful. DO NOT ADJUST IT; YOUR NEWSREADER WORKS IN ARIAL.
5.) Cross your fingers.

NOTE: If you hit the reply button, add an "e" to the "freent";
its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
