It doesn't work well in courier - but something with less serifs like fixedsys is better. Theres probably a bit of viewing it as a shade, but its more that I'm after a vertical line that isn't centred on the character block, which JFL give you. The extra bits are annoying, but IMO ignorable. Row gets away with extra lines :) : Hence why I draw "clean" linedrawing .. and almost no shading images Its a matter of style yes. And wouldn't it be boring if we all had the same style? :) -- ,-. Henry Segerman uewJa6aS hJuaH `-'
