ASCII art is always drawn in a fixed width font, like "Lucida Console" or "Courier". This is because variable fonts have slightly different character widths, so to see the picture everyone has to use exactly the same font as the artist. Fixed width fonts allow the picture to be seen using *any* fixed width font. You also included a few non-ASCII characters. ASCII art is limited to these characters: !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMN OPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~ because just about every character encoding contains them. To me the '�' and '�' characters in your picture look a bit like "<<" and ">>" - but other users may see them differently. -- Harry Mason ("hjm200.ecs@soton@ac@uk" =~ tr/@./.@/)
