My copy in JavE produces this : .'``. .' .' .' ._) .' --.'-- . .' O ____ .' ____ .' .`---, .' .' ) .' .' ) .' .' .' .' .' .' .(___..' .' (_.' (__(____.(__(__(________(__ .' , .' (____.' When you say theres a string error at about 58 or 59 .. .. what do you mean ? The linenumber ? The characternumber ? (in which case it would be helpful if you could tell me the character) I too like that my version is smoother .. thats why i did it. Sometimes a style of drawing is a personal opinion .. some may like it one way and some another. But here I felt the original style to be very rough and unnatural. I could also have choosen to make ,' .' ,' lines , instead of my .' lines, but I tend to prefer ,' .' the .' lines because even though the ,' lines define the line better, the comma char can in some fonts be very heavy or have curves that disrupt the line slightly. Mostly I like .' lines because I can slant them differently and still use the same line style. The ,' lines only go from left to right, forcing me to break the symmetry if i make a line go from right to left. Hmm ... I was didling a bit and found that " iy iy il ij" as input produces this : .' .' O O O .' O O .' .' . .' .' . .' .' .' .' .' .' .' .' .' .' .' .' .' .' (__(____.(__ (__ (____.(__ (__(__ (__ .(__ .' .' .' . .' . .' .' (____.' (____.' (_.' The original version 1 does this too. It seems clear to me that the y and j's do not try to cross the left boundary of the i when they are joined , but why does this not happen the first time ? Is it a font error or is it a bug in figlet or perhaps just JavE's implementation ? Hmm .. Just got this result of the polish figlet at : http://www.ascii.art.pl/figlet.php /' /' O O O /' O O /' /' / /' /' / /' /' /' /' /' /' /' /' /' /' /' /' /' /' (__(___,/(__ (__(___,/(__ (__(__ (__/(__ /' /' /' / /' / /' /' (___,/' (___,/' (,/' As mentioned JavE produces this : /' /' O O O /' O O /' /' / /' /' / /' /' /' /' /' /' /' /' /' /' /' /' /' /' (__(___,/(__ (__ (___,/(__ (__(__ (__ /(__ /' /' /' / /' / /' /' (___,/' (___,/' (,/' It may very well be a bug in JavE The online figlet however is still stupid enough to produce : O /' /' / /' /' /' (__ (___,/(__ /' / /' (___,/' when given the input "iy" It does not understand that when it cannot push the y beyond the borders of the screen it errors in the joining of the two characters and must therefore move the i to match. JavE makes the same mistake .. it's internal treatment of borders might have something to do with this. BTW .. which do you like better ? : .-. O .' .' .' -.'--' .' .' (__.(_____ .' .' .' or .-. o .' .' .' -.'--' .' .' (__.(_____ .' .' .' (the size of the dot on the i is what separates the two) Sincerely CeeJay :)
