|Hi

Unless you have Windows 98, you can't change fonts in Notepad. And there is
no font that everyone uses, as we all have different operating systems and
computers and everyone has their preferences... I use FixedSys (notepad's
font) for News postings but Lucida Console in TextPad for making my ascii
art. Lucida Console is quite square but you can only get it with Microsoft
Plus! I believe (I don't know if it comes with Win98)
