There's some aspect ratio distortion going on if that's the real
source.

  Yes, I know for sure, I'm working on it.

  Because the code is very crude, but I hope some constructive
  feedback. Your's is good: you "put the finger" on the main
  default :)

  Thx.

That depends on the font you are using, which can not be fixed in the
context of ASCII-art.

While this is true, anything not made for a fairly standard fixed-width
font with typical aspect ratio should include a statement about the font
to use. With my pgmtoascii tool I've advised that people prescale the
image to match the font aspect ratio. Doing that for the generic xterm
font I'm using and I get this for the same source image:

My tool does not have the edge detection stuff going on of this one.
That edge dectection looks like a nice option for large solid area
stuff like this, but it probably isn't going to do nice things to
images with lots of thin lines. Like say the one on this page:

http://www.jave.de/image2ascii/competition2001/contributions3.html

That competition never got judged, but it includes a nice selection
of images to tax any programatic ASCII algorithm.

   So I'm looking for scaling algorithm who don't break my
   poor edge-detection technic :) More to come...
