Sean Xie -
Nice thought, but you need to hear and understand about mono-space
fonts (one space wide for each letter no matter if an I or M, like an old
typewriter, the best for this kind of "art") vs. proportional spacing, more
than you ever wanted to know about fonts. BTW, what screen font DID you
use anyway, so it comes out looking right.
Wishing you a happy, font-free Holiday, one and all.
