I am very ignorant when it comes to ascii-art. I know next to nothing about it.Actually I know even less then that. I sent my brother in-law the ascii art you posted with the Chinese new year art on it. I am in the U.S.( A blindingly white american type) I use windows 95 English version. My brother in-law however, is in Taiwan and I believe he has a Chinese version of Win95. His use of the English language is about as good as my Chinese....poor to non-existent. I thought I read somewhere that the differant font types used between two differant speaking and computer languages/fonts are quite differant. So if he opens my letter with the art you made, is going to see the same "picture" only with differant fonts? Or is he going to see a very wierd picture all together? If the latter, I hope it didn't translate to "Your Mother cooks happy with socks on her Fish" or somthing. He never did write back...I'm getting nervous. Thank you for any help. (when he does write to his sister(my wife) I have a "translator" for converting his BIG-5 Chinese code to characters the wife can read,via Unionway software.)

When in doubt, worry. Or panic. Send a letter to the embassador in Taiwan! > when he does write to his sister(my wife) I have a "translator" for > converting his BIG-5 Chinese code to characters the wife can read, > via Unionway software. So he sends in BIG-5 - but what did you send? I wonder what answer you would get from a postman if you asked him "I sent a letter - will it arrive ok? Can the recipient read it?" Sven

All I did was post and email to the person who does indeed know more then two languages...possibly more then that. I asked a very simple (nicely put, I think) question, and all you can do is start name calling? Is this how you treat all people for the first time? You have no doubt gone as far in life as can be expected. Fick du,du miserabler hurensohn.

You have to use fixed-spacing (typewriter) fonts like "courrier" at both ends. The thing to do is snailmail him a printout of your picture, then email him the same thing. Without any need for words, it will be obvious what is wrong with his view of the email version, and how to fix it. ____ //|\\\\\\\\ {{{{'*. */})} {{{{\ v /}})} Dav...@xemu.demon.co.uk {{{{{/ \})}}\ / {{{| | }}}} \ http://www.xemu.demon.co.uk / / \{{{ /\ }}}} } { { }{{ }}l/ / /index.html \ \ j .]/ / \;{ \ / },; / { Y \ // 1 1 ____/// \ '.______..-~ _-- 1, _..-'' \\\ '._______...-'' \\ \

If sillyness counts as a race - yes. ;-) > I have no idea why you have an obvious hatred towards me. > You hate my spelling? Fine.

No, you did less than is necessary - you did not provide enough info about your situation to make an answer possible. > I asked a very simple (nicely put, I think) question, and all you can > do is start name calling? eh? > Is this how you treat all people for the first time? Offtopic posts to newsgroup can only be answered like this. Please go and ask in the appropriate places - this group is not about character > Fick du,du miserabler hurensohn. tsk tsk Should we take this to email? Naah.. Sven
