I agree. Very quick too. I tried it with some ascii art and it makes the overall image a bit thinner, though:(

(not handling spaces correctly)

Yes, I'm working on this.

The problem is that it finds the longest line, by the number of characters in it. Instead of taking the actual width.

This is great news. I can understand wanting to keep this as simple as possible but... if you decide to add any features:

1. Transparent Background (and)

2. Choice of character color (to integrate better with a webpage's color scheme, for example)
