1 - as others stated, ASCII art only works in fixed-width fonts like Monaco
2 - extra spaces on the right of a line might get wrapped to the next line: you should
remove useless spaces at the right of your drawing (I didn't count them so maybe they
wouldn't wrap, but there were spaces at the end of every line of your signature)
3 - one could be tempted to insert tabs instead of spaces to fill large spaces, but
tabs could be interpreted differently by different programs (some would tuck them to
predefined positions, some would replace them with an arbitrary number of spaces, some
would keep them and SIMULATE the width of an arbitrary number of spaces, anyways the
point is you can't rely on tabs in ascii art, only real spaces -- not a problem in
your case, just a FYI)
This corrected version should look good in any fixed-width font:
,-~~-.___ _______
/ | � \ / /
( ) � / /
\_/-, ,____/ /______/
==== II
/ \-'~; II
/ __/~| (....)
=( _____| (______)
