I Really Have Read All the FAQs. Still Questions?

Dear Group,
I have been reading all faqs and lurking and reading all posts before I jump
into this project and I still need some clarification if you don't mind:

Here's what I understand to be true as an "AOLer":
1.  My only available font on this newsreader is NOT a fixed width.
2.  There is no way to remedy that situation.
3.  If I want my art to look ok to other folks in the group, I must create my
art on Notepad and cut and paste it to my newsgroup window.

Here's my questions???
1.  When I do this my art appears nasty to me but will look ok to you SO....
will my art look as bad to other AOL'ers???
2.  Does this mean that I would have to post 2 versions of my art?  One that
looks good to folks on aol and one that is correct when viewed with a fixed
width newsreader?

The reason I ask is that most of my family members are also AOL'ers and I would
like to be able to show them my art to oooh and ahhhh over.

Thanks for all your help
