Maybe the following will help too.

Excerpt from my shortened version
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/9334/asciichart.htm#top
of one of the FAQs:

Copy the i's and m's into whatever you are using to create your ASCII
art.

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

If the line of i's are a different length from the line of m's you need
to change your font. However, if they line up symmetrically,
congratulations! You are using the correct font.


NOTE: If you hit the reply button, add an "e" to the "freent";
its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
