In a fixed-pitch font it's plain as day. In a proportional one, all bets are off. You could restrict your characters to those of almost the same width but varying densities, <_?<_?<_+<_?<_? =_#########<_?_ <_?><_?=_#<_?=_ <_?_+<_?#<_+<_? <_+=_>_#<_?<_?_ <_?<_?#<_?<_+=_ <_?=_#_~<_+<_?_ <_?_#<_+=<_?<_? <_+#<_?=_~<_?=_ =_#########<_?_ <_?<_=<_?<_+<_? and maybe pull that off. It still won't work for Roger's blind subscribers, and neither does the .jpg-of-a-word method.
