Well, close enough, ain't it? :-) Sure - if you have a square font. The font I use is called 9x15, and has 9x15 pixels per character, so 10x10 characters would be more close (if my pixels are square). Other fonts might have different "ideal proportions" (but probably not much different). -- ##### c ^ OO /\\\\ ##### | /|\ `^^^^^^^%-- '||` | \\\\ #### <@ \ / \ " " \ ha ha ha dd / @> \\\| ### _| |_ \\| ### (_ http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/cgi/asciichat/ _) == \ / A S C I I A R T C H A T \ ||\
