'---------------------------------

If you download the executable version (rather than use the web-based
versions) you can add fonts to it. You can download the appropriate FIGlet
for your system at http://ftp.internexus.net/pub/figlet/program/ - (If you
are getting the DOS version, look out for FigDOS-GUI!) and then get the
fonts you would like from http://ftp.internexus.net/pub/figlet/fonts/ ...

You can also make fonts yourself... the format is quite simple (although you
might want to wait for the impending version 3 FIGlet font format, which is
radically different). Take a look in standard.flf.

You can find a whole variety of information on the FIGlet web site...
http://st-www.cs.uiuc.edu/~chai/figlet.html
(I don't know how much longer this site will last, since Ian Chai it's
maintainer is no longer a student at UIUC.

(Latest FigDOS-GUI available from me on request, and I'll upload it to the
usual places later today probably.)

Hope this helps,
-Martin
