hello i am making a "macro draw" program for aol... and there are alot of
macros on this message board but aol uses the font "arial" and i was wondering
if it would be ok if i "converted" the macros so they would look fine in the
font arial. if not then thats ok... (of course i would leave your sig. on the
macros.) well lat0rz

Your best bet is to get version 4.0 of your AOL software, and set your
display font to some fixed-spaced font such as Courier, Topaz New, or Fixed
Sys.

ASCII art, especially that contained here, is expressly intended to be
viewed in fixed-width fonts lik the above.

I think someone came up with a patch for lesser versions of AOL's software,
but I can't remember who.

Look to AOL--  I don't think that there is anywhere
else on the internet that creates text pictures with
Arial font.   Use keyword, "momsonline".  Look
for 'games' and then look for 'macro folder' in games
area.  That should send you to a good site--
