  Mine look like that too.  When I edited an existing Figlet font to find
out how to go about making a new one, all the characters were delineated
with the @ at the end of a line, and the @@ at the end of a character.
They don't show up on my version of Figlet, but they do here.  Also,
someone posted a "corrected" version of bothe bright and contrast, but
there is no difference to the versions I have... Why is this?

  So why is this?
