Viewer: Ascii Art

Damn NFO Viewer
(Freeware)
OS: Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP
Languages: English, Chinese Simplified, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish
Description: DAMN NFO Viewer is an utility for viewing text files containing ASCII Art (e.g. .nfo and .diz files). Most of modern Windows fonts just don't have glyphs required for displaying ASCII Art, and those rare ones left are hard to use due to often erratical behaviour of localized Windows versions when it comes to displaying text with OEM fonts. DAMN NFO Viewer lets you see ASCII Art the way it's supposed to look, and it's good at it.
