Since nobody wanted to post in the "swimsuit issue thread",
I moved the off topic stuff over where it belongs. if somebody
can figure out what needs to be done at the browser level/server
level (hopefully not anything at that end), I can get a font
together with whatever custom graphics are sent to me. I e-mailed
the first test font to some of the mod squad. Hopefully we'll get it posted
and try to get something going, it's a version of cinemo's pet,
mapped to "c". I thought it would make a good example of the
level of complexity the first few revisions should be
(a little fancier would be ok, maybe, we'll see). Right now it's
just the one graphic, 0-9 and enough letters and punctuation
to display the name and rev. numbers.meanwhile, stupid ASCII tricks as promised:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "
.
ASCII art n.
.
The fine art of drawing diagrams using the ASCII character set
mainly |, -, /, \, and +). Also known as `character graphics'
or `ASCII graphics'; see also boxology. Here is a serious example:
.
o----)||(--+--|<----+ +---------o + D O
L )||( | | | C U
A I )||( +-->|-+ | +-\/\/-+--o - T
C N )||( | | | | P
E )||( +-->|-+--)---+--|(--+-o U
)||( | | | GND T
o----)||(--+--|<----+----------+
.
A power supply consisting of a full wave rectifier circuit
feeding a capacitor input filter circuit
And here are some very silly examples:
.
|\/\/\/| ____/| ___ |\_/| ___
| | \ o.O| ACK! / \_ |` '| _/ \
| | =(_)= THPHTH! / \/ \/ \
| (o)(o) U / \
C _) (__) \/\/\/\ _____ /\/\/\/
| ,___| (oo) \/ \/
| / \/-------\ U (__)
/____\ || | \ /---V `v'- oo )
/ \ ||---W|| * * |--| || |`. |_/\
.
.
.
//-o-\\
____---=======---____
====___\ /.. ..\ /___==== Klingons rule OK!
// ---\__O__/--- \\
\_\ /_/
.
.
.
There is an important subgenre of ASCII art that puns on the
standard character names in the fashion of a rebus.

Within humorous ASCII art, there is for some reason an entire
flourishing subgenre of pictures of silly cows. Four of
these are reproduced in the examples above, here are three more:

figured you would, u u!( c ) p.s. if you want to see chibathingamajig between the parentheses above,
send me an address where you can download an attachment of a hacked version of "georgia" from work! SUCCESS! the 68kMLA-graphics font/UBB hack works! just need to figure out scaling workaround,
wonder if perl code as above can format/display
text at larger point sizes than straight UBB code?
Programmers? please let me know.
things are working fine at this end so far! jt2 Edited by - alcoa on 27 Feb 2002 10:57:16 back again, works with iCab too! I emailed rev 000 to the same list as yesterday for review) jt2 =8-) Edited by - alcoa on 27 Feb 2002 11:24:41 |

font's on its way, if anybody else wants it post your email address here and i'll send it out, i don't want to have to log on to aol to get the messages if i can help it. if you have a different address that you don't wsnt to post publicly send it to me at junkcollector54@yahoo.com and it will be easier for me to get to. i don't want to post my primary address publicly either, so i'll check the yahoo drop box periodically. jt2 p.s. your sig looks like a really cool spaceship in navigator 4.73 in the forum, anubis, i'll send you a screen shot. in the text editor i can see the letters, check out the link above, the perl script works wonders!

Any vector art image can be put in there, really... I think the idea is to get a few good standard piccies we can use... like say, lil 040's... microquadras... etc :D
thanks, dana, standard piccies, especially some custom emoticons will be great. i'd really like to include personalized art submitted by members for their sigs too. we still have scaling issues to figure out, but it looks as if rudimentary graphic capabilities are progressing nicely.jt testing rev 002:

Now I remember why I stopped using that sig, becuse every forum seems to handle teletype font tags differently. It looks unsqushed now with the code tags.AnubisTTP

sorry about that, but, i've been dying to try out code tags on this forum. maybe the kids will enjoy it.jt and they seem to work! =8-} _____________________________________ oh well, it worked for him in unplugged!
http://www.macaddict.com/forums/Forum18/HTML/009667.html just out of curiosity, does this look the same as in unplugged?
if they do, or it looks fine here and wrong over there, please post your browser/system/fonts config. tia
