A comment first: a recent trend that isn't entirely to my liking is the proliferation of figlet fonts that are essentially the same, but with certain characters switched with others. For example, ### # # ### ## %%% % % %%% %% # # # # # % % % % % # ### # # and % %%% % % # # # # # % % % % % # # # ### ## % % % %%% %% don't need to be separate fonts, since you can get the second by piping the first through tr '#' '%' or whatever appropriate utility you would use in other OS's. Note that many of the sigs here are essentially the same, and so don't need separate fonts. That said, I'd like to see these as figlet fonts: > __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ > / /\ / /\ / /\ / /\ / /\ / /\ / /\ / /\ /_/\ > / / /_ / / / / / \ / / \ / / / / / / / / \ / / \ /_/\ \ >/_/ / /\/_/ / /_/ /\ \/_/ /\ \/_/ /_ /_/ / /_/ /\ \/_/ /\ \/_/\ \ \ >\ \ \/ \ \ \ _\ \ \/ \ \ \/ /\ \ \/\_\ \ \ _\ \ \/ /\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ > \ \ /\ \ \ \/ /\ \ /\ \ \ __ \ \ / /\ \ \/ /\ \ __ \ \ \_\ \ \ \ \ \ > \_\/ / /\ \ \/ /\ \ \_\/\ \ \_\/\ \ \/ /\ \ \/ /\ \ \_\/\ \ \/ /\ \ \ / > /_/ / \ \ / \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ / \ \ / \ \ \ \ \ / \ \ / > \_\/ \_\/ \_\/ \_\/ \_\/ \_\/ \_\/ \_\/ \_\/ >. ____ ____ ' . _______ . _____ ____ ______ ______ __ __ __ > ' / __/ / _/ + ,/| /____ ) / _/ / _/____ ) / ___ / / / / /./ / >+ ( ( / / ,/ | __ ) / / /_ / / + __ ) / */ / / / / /./ / / / > . \ \* / / . ,/ _ | / // / . / __/ / / / // / . / /./ / / /*/ / / / > ____) )/ /_ /,-' `.| / / \ \ / /_ / /_ . / / \ \ / /_/ / / /_/ /_/ / + >/_____//____/// . ||/_/ \ \/____//____/ /_/ . \ \/_____/ /_________/ . > .
