To get something like this:

____   ____                         .__               
\   \ /   /___________  ____   ____ |__| ____ _____   
 \   Y   // __ \_  __ \/  _ \ /    \|  |/ ___\\__  \  
  \     /\  ___/|  | \(  <_> )   |  \  \  \___ / __ \_
   \___/  \___  >__|   \____/|___|  /__|\___  >____  /
              \/                  \/        \/     \/ 

or this:

__   __                _         
\ \ / /__ _ _ ___ _ _ (_)__ __ _ 
 \ V / -_) '_/ _ \ ' \| / _/ _` |
  \_/\___|_| \___/_||_|_\__\__,_|
                                 
or some other "ascii art font", try one of these:

http://mediacube.datacom.de/cgi-bin/moniteurs/figlet
http://www.surfplaza.com/figlet/
ftp://ftp.internexus.net/pub/figlet
http://st-www.cs.uiuc.edu/users/chai/figlet.html
http://www.inf.utfsm.cl/cgi-bin/figlet

They are sites with a program called "Figlet" that "translates"
ordinairy
text to text "painted" as ascii art.

     Courier New for DejaNews works great. Or System or Terminal for anything
else.

in other words, anything that has a fixed width font...or a font with all the
characters taking the same amount of space.
