Nice font. It's interesting how this stuff gets copied and modified
along the way.
I first saw this font (unslanted and thicker) in a BBS screen. I
looked like:
:::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::
:::+:::+:::+:::+:::+ :::+:::+:::+ :::+:::+:::+:::+
:+:+ :+:+ :+:+ :+:+ :+:+ :+:+
+:++ +++: +:+: +:++ +:+: +:+:
++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++++++++++++++
+++# +++# +++# +++# +++#+++#+++#+++#
+#+# +#+# +#+# +#+# +#+#
#+## #+#+ #+###+#+###+ #+#+
#### #### ############ ####
So I copied the style and made thinner letters so I could make a
Scarecrow sig.

Along with a version with a reflection.

Then other people started using it for their sigs. Then, Simon made
himself a sig with a slanted modification.

He then made a Figlet version of this font, which is in the post
before this one, in this thread.
What's next? How about a new Scarecrow sig with the slanted version.
But I had to really thin out the letters to make it fit. So here's yet
another modification of the font.
