I have uploaded it to http://www.jave.de/download/metal.gif I ran it through some converters in JavE. The greatest problem with this image is that the white space between two characters is only about 3 pixels, with the image being about 470 pixels wide. With a width of 80 characters for the result image the white space is about 1/3..1/2 character wide. Showing the details there is even very hard when done by hand: MM]MM MM[MM MM]MM or MM[MM ? MM]MM MM[MM One will get a quite J pleasing conversion ,P result when converting QW to more than 80 qMW characters: JWMW But that's not J+.WW` WW MMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMW .MMMMM WMMMW MMMM; very satisfying, ,MMA WMMW MMMMMMMMMM MMWMMMMMMMM .MMMMMM WMMMW MMMM; as we want to MMMMMMMMMW MMMMQQQQQQ WMMMM ,MMWWMMM WMMMW MMMM; use it in emails, MMMMMWWMMMW MMMMMMMMMM WMMMM MMMQWMMM WMMMW MMMM; etc..
