MOTD of irc.mozilla.org has nice ASCII art with the current server name that looks smashed when viewed with Tb. AFAKT the problem is the font not being "monospace" and collapsed whitespaces.

Yeah, the font isn't really controlled by the protocol though. I suppose we could put these messages in <code> blocks, but that seems like an ugly solution since it'll make all the /other/ text monospaced when it doesn't need to be.
We could possible do it with a little heuristics and monospace lines that don't have any normal characters and are made up of /\|()_, I'd probably accept a patch for that.

From what I see the whole text of the MOTD is intended to use monospaced font, again talking for irc.moz.org.

I don't agree, a lot of it is just text (which benefits from not being monospaced font).
Regardless, I don't think it makes sense to make all MOTD messages as monospaced.

Attaching a monospaced version for reference. The screenshot is from irssi.
