I have half a mind to >figletize it anyway, screw the special-letter adaptations. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What!!! And desecrate the font! :-( If someone is willing to figletize the font you should consider adding the punctuation marks. Perhaps those of the Univers font will do. The extra 26 lowercase letters could replace other characters in the ASCII set like the ten digits for example. Once everything is in place, it would be possible to write a little C program that would take the text and substitute the odd characters where the special set of lowercase letters is needed and pass that string to FIGLET. Would this work ? Is someone willing to take it from here ? >Or, perhaps >this would be worth a new version of Figlet to allow for character >combinations ... what do you say, Frank, Ian or Glenn?
