Hi to everyone! I'm using SmaugFUSS and i miss the 8 bit ANSI images in it, when I make an ANSI image, the SmaugFUSS shows this

Instead of:

Can anyone tells me how to configure the SmaugFUSS to show the ANSI 8-bit images well?
Thanks a lot to everyone! :)

It is basically the font you are using. Some fonts use the characters with the high-order bit set (ie. 128 to 255) to make blocky graphics, others use the same characters to show characters from other languages.

Hi!! Thanks for the help, i'm been investigating it: if I use Putty to connect to my MUD, i must to configure it to CP437 font to see the ansi art well. I tried with other fonts but it doesn't works. All the programs to edit ANSI images works with the 437 codepage font, how can i transcode for viewing in Courier font? I have seen that ISO-8859-1/2 Courier font doesn't have the characters that i need to show that ANSI image. Is there a way to configure zMUD to show the MUD with codepage 437? If not, what do you recommends me with de ANSI art?

:D Thanks a lot!!!

I'm not sure how to do that in zMud. I suggest you ask on their forum, which is quite active:

However not everyone will use zMud. You might want to try to make art of out dots and underscores (and the like) which would work on every client.
