Figlet font - big and sideways

Figlet font - big and sideways

A while ago, I started working on a figlet font that had big letters tilted
sideways, so that when printed on a dot-matrix printer, you'd have a banner.
As it turns out, I have neither the desire nor the time to finish it, so I
thought I'd turn the reigns over to anyone who wanted to finish it.  You're
free to change any of the letters I've done so far, if you just want to use
them as a starting point.

The characters are 72 characters tall, i.e. 72 columns wide.  This leaves 48
columns as a height for capitals, 24 columns as a height for lowercase, and
24 columns for decenders.  Since they're so wide, on an 80-column screen, only
one character should print on a line, so it should be able to work through
Figlet.  If I'm wrong on this one, I'm sure Glenn or one of his co-horts will
correct me.  Anyway here's what I've done so far, and if anyone decides to work
on it, good luck!

BTW, the W _definitely_ needs some work!
