Extended Character Aascii Art questions
f0dder:
Thing with extended ASCII is that it depends on on the codepage. Notepad doesn't download fonts to your printer afaik, it probably just selects whatever is close to "courier new". Good old .nfo files display correctly in dos codepage 865, which is different from the windows standard. As for getting correct printing - no idea.
But for viewing, I suggest Kwazy Webbit's NFO Scroller, from http://reteam.org/tools.html . Never got around finishing my own, so I gave him my cp865.bin and rendering code, and the end result is nice :)
lanux128:
also try this viewer, claims to have print support..
Version 3 includes several new features like Print support, URL launch, Find/Replace, Trim copy and Keyword highlights.-website

For creating ascii art:

Ascii Art Studio

f0dder:
Hm, GetDiz (at least judging by the screenshot) doesn't have the right cp865 font, so it looks pretty ugly imho. ASCII Art Studio is a bit cute, but doesn't use the right codepage/font either (not even in edit mode, haven't tried printing).
Edvard:
For low-level ascii things like "Figlet" fonts and such, I have used Jave5 (which does all the rendering at AsciiMaps). Free and full-featured, you can even do ascii animations and export to gif! But, sadly it does not use the extended characters in any function.
f0dder, the NFOScroller is way cool, but it doesn't print :(
