If you really want to produce brilliant ASCI art why not use CAD? I am not
an artist but I use CAD and it can give you any type of text, any size of
text, bold and italic text, English or foreign text, text of any colour, and
at any spacing even overlaping, and text at any angle. All these features
and easily edited too!

Is this the real way forward for an ASCI Artist?

Martin
