Mmm. Yeah. The '<' look much better in a font other than the one I've been
using - they were a bit too short before so didn't connect with the top and
bottom of the space. But I'm willing to change font :)
I think the 'h' and 'y' need to be a bit wider, and the top of the 'r' longer
though:

: Squeezing the height a little:
Yeah...5 lines is acceptable for a sig.
You gave me some ideas so I started messing around:
__
|__ _ _ __
| | / >|\ | >< | |
| |__><_| \|<_/ |__|
__|
__
|__ _ _ __
| | / ||\ | >< | |
| |__><_| \||_/ |__|

| |__/\_| \| <> |__|

What's more readable?
Are there any tricks with the dots and things that could be applied?
: Squeezing harder:
(I widened the 'h'&'y' here)
: __ _ __
: |__ /\ |\ | >< |__|
: | |_><__| \| \/ __|
Three lines! I think maybe its starting to look a bit deformed though.
To look like normal text it needs the tail of the y to be below the rest so I
doubt its possible below 5 lines.
Thanks!
