For the given ASCIIArt, if I have some Text, I would like to have this Text in the output image as Regular Fonts and Not Monospaced fonts. How can I change the font setting for the output image file?

 Step 1

   v
 Step 2
   |
   v
  End

gives this output.

This would be of very narrow application, since any graphics to the right of such text would fall out of X-axis alignment with rows above and below.

Recommend "won't fix".

Reopening based on title of issue, not specific variable pitch fonts, which remain impractical, due to alignment issues.

Alternate fixed pitch fonts however are practical; there's no reason not to allow their specification as configuration options.
