   Virtually all ASCII art is designed for a fixed width font with an   
   aspect ratio of about 2:1 (height to width). Usually it's designed   
   for a san serif font, but sometimes with a serifed font in mind.   
      
   Pick something that is fixed width to get in the ballpark every time.   
   I don't know what fixed width san serif fonts are widely installed,   
   I read news and view ASCII art in xterms, using a Linux terminal   
   font. Some sort of Courier is going to be widely installed, that's   
   a fixed width serifed font. The serifs add some weight to the look   
   of the characters, so things will often seem a little darker than   
   they should be.
