How can we post ASCII art on Facebook wall?

Question

In my application, I have a requirement to publish ASCII art from my iPhone application on a facebook post. But the problem I am facing is that the facebook font (Lucida Console) is changing the formatting of my ASCII art. I made my ASCII art at Courier New.

What can be done?

Is there a way to post my ASCII art to facebook without reformatting it all?

Please help and suggest.

thank

Python script, .

#!/usr/bin/python
'''
fbformat -- format ASCII for Facebook
'''
import sys, os
PRINTABLE = [' '] + map(chr, range(ord('!'), ord('~') + 1))
FB_ABLE = [u'\u3000'] + map(unichr, range(0xff01, 0xff5f))
TO_FB = dict(zip(PRINTABLE, FB_ABLE))
FROM_FB = dict(zip(FB_ABLE, PRINTABLE))
COMMAND = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(sys.argv[0]))[0]
TEXT = sys.stdin.read().decode('utf8')
TO = ''.join([TO_FB.get(C, C) for C in TEXT])
FROM = ''.join([FROM_FB.get(C, C) for C in TEXT])
sys.stdout.write([TO, FROM][COMMAND == 'fbunformat'].encode('utf8'))
