Subject: ASCII Board representation

Does somebody know a good representation to print the board in the Console?
I currently use

8  *r *n *b *q *k *b *n *r
7  *p *p *p *p *p *p *p *p
6   .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .
5   .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .
4   .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .
3   .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .
2   P  P  P  P  P  P  P  P
1   R  N  B  Q  K  B  N  R

    a  b  c  d  e  f  g  h

(ok, imagine we had proportional fonts), but especially the diagonals are hard
to see. Can somebody point me towards a good example?
I like the Crafty representation, but I don't want to create a Crafty clone
(really no offense meant).

regards
Andy
