 I think of "find /usr/share/figlet -iname *.flf|wc -w" to be more

 I don't think that lynx should be a standard for text-browsing anymore.
It missed the run, IMHO. Did you give w3m a try yet? It has great
advantages over lynx: It can render tables (which I really blame lynx
for not supporting it - it was sugguested endless times, AFAIK). And it
can render frames, by simply converting the frames to a table *smirks*
 It is also smaller than lynx and start up faster. You can even define a
menu, set the keybindings to your likes.
 You find a link on my page mentioned in the signature. Give it a try -
it surely is worth it! Btw, there is also a binary for windows available
;)

 Have fun!
