Examples of AOL Macro Fonts, made here. These are ASCII fonts created specifically for the 10p Arial font of AOL in the 1990s. While most ASCII uses a monospaced font, this doesn’t (and neither does the Japanese Shift_JIS art). Specific tools for AOL ASCII such as Pepsi were developed.
In the late 90’s, little hacking programs known as “proggies” became popular in the underground warez scene of AOL (examples: AOHell and Fate-X). As these programs became more popular, many begain to feature “Macro Shops”, which were ASCII Art development areas. The user could develop their own ASCII Art and then scroll the text in an AOL chat room.
