Welcome to alt.ascii-art! We're all friendly people here, who're glad
to have you. ;*)

Oh, and be sure to read the FAQ.. Which brings me to your next
question..

Alright -- there are two possibilities as to why this is happening. At
least that I can think of. Here they are:

1. The program you are pasting the text into is using a
non-fixed-width font. If you can find out how to, change the font to a
fixed-width one: ie, Courier New, Monaco, etc.

2. The website you are pasting from is using a non-fixed-width font.
There's nothing to do about this but to inform the person who owns the
site of their mistake.

I hope this helps.
