After I first announced Georgi16, someone reminded me of JavE. I had known of JavE before, as an ASCII art editor, but it hadn't occurred to me to try it as a FIGletiser, when I embarked on Georgi16. Now that I have discovered its ability to render GIFs, it was a simple matter for me to render some text as a GIF, import that into JavE, and export it as ASCII art. Now I know I can make a much better job than I did with Georgi16. I am at the moment working on an 11-line Georgia, and it'll be rather better. I may yet go back and redo the 16-line version using JavE. Don't think of the current Georgi16 as the final one, by any means! I removed the final "a" of Georgia removed so as to keep the name 8 characters long. I know JavE doesn't mind names longer than that. What software would find a longer name inconvenient? If none, then I'll change my mind and it can be Georgia16. And Georgia11.
