acronyms, fonts & other things

acronyms, fonts & other things

LOL sometimes 'lots of luck' --used to drive me buggy trying to figure out
what they were laughing about in some messages, like 'LOL finding one'
(LoL is also 'lords of light' in alt.books.roger-zelazny but that's
probably not important here...)

  also i've seen ** used to indicate italics/bold *this is italics or
bold*, and underlines can be shown like this: _this is underlined_,
_as_is_this_ & obvious variations.


hmm. gotta include ascii art? these are what i saw in the 'standard figlet 
font' list in colin's message:

>  _   _      _   _      _   _   _
> (o)_(o)    (_)_(_)    (_) (_) (_)
>  / _ \      /o_o\     | | | | | |
> |  _  |    | |_| |    | | |__\| |
> |_| |_|     \_=_/      \|_______|
>  _____
> |u_|_u\
> | | / /
> | | \ \
> |_| |_/

maybe somebody should do a 'critter's' font (or is there one?)

spinal tap's n?
 _   _ 
(_)_(_)
| '_  \
| | | |
|_| |_|
(seems like the font on the albums more angular...)

the signer or the .sig:
