Indeed. I have played around with a few characters, but it is really hard:
,---, ,---,
,---.'| ,---.'|
| | : | | :
,--.--. : : : ,---. | | | ,---.
/ \ : |,-. / \ ,--.__| | / \
.--. .-. | | : ' | / / ' / ,' | / / |
\__\/: . . | | / : . ' / . ' / | . ' / |
," .--.; | ' : |: | ' ; :__ ' ; |: | ' ; /|
/ / ,. | | | '/ : | '.'| | | '/ ' | / |
; : .' \ | : | | : : | : :| | : |
| , .-./ / \ / \ \ / \ \ / \ \ /
`--`---' `-'----' `----' `----' `----'
,--, ,--,
,--.'| ,--.'|_ ,--,
| | : | | :,' ,'_ /| .---.
: : ' : : ' : .--. | | : /. ./|
| ' | ;__,' / ,'_ /| : . | .-' . ' |
' | | | | | | ' | | . . /___/ \: |
| | : :__,'| : | | ' | | | . \ ' .
' : |__ ' : |__ : | : ; ; | \ \ ' ___
| | '.'| | | '.'| ' : `--' \ \ \ / .\
; : ; ; : ; : , .-./ \ \ | \ ; |
| , / | , / `--`----' '---" `--"
---`-' ---`-'
,----,
.-- -.' \
| | :
: ; |
: |
| : :
:
| ; |
___ l
/ /\ J :
/ ../ `..- ,
\ \ ;
\ \ ,'
"---....--'
The most complicated characters are still missing and the existing ones
could use some diddling.
When using the font it is handy to have a FIGdriver that allows you
tweaking the layout. With FIGlet's default layout options all you can
get is this:
,--, ,--, ,---,
,--.'| ,--.'| ,---.'|
| | : .---. | | : | | :
: : ' ,---. /. ./| ,---. : : ' ,---. | | |
| ' | / \ .-' . ' | / \| ' | / \ ,--.__| |
' | | / / /___/ \: |/ / ' | | / / |/ ,' |
| | : . ' / . \ ' . ' / | | : . ' / . ' / |
' : |__' ; /|\ \ ' ; /' : |__' ; /' ; |: |
| | '.'| | / | \ \ | / | | '.'| | / | | '/ '
; : | : | \ \ | : ; : | : | : :|
| , / \ \ / '---" \ \ /| , / \ \ / \ \ /
---`-' `----' `----' ---`-' `----' `----'
I think it would look better if one could specify to smush the
characters one additional column:
,--, ,--, ,---,
,--.'| ,--.'| ,---.'|
| | : .---. | | : | | :
: : ' ,---. /. ./| ,---.: : ' ,---. | | |
| ' | / \.-' . ' |/ | ' | / \ ,--.__| |
' | | / / /___/ \: / / ' | | / / / ,' |
| | : . ' /. \ '. ' /| | : . ' /. ' / |
' : |_' ; /\ \ ' ; ' : |_' ; ' ; |: |
| | '.| | / |\ \ | /| | '.| | /| | '/ '
; : | : | \ \| : ; : | : | : :|
| , /\ \ / '---"\ \ | , /\ \ /\ \ /
---`-' `----' `----' ---`-' `----' `----'
