What's the number one complaint about figlet? That its output is too
small, of course! ;-) To remedy this horrible deficiency, I offer, for
your enjoyment, "bigfig". This is an "sh" (Unix Bourne Shell) script,
along with a font, that, together, can triple the size of figlet output.
This is done by piping figlet output through figlet again, but using a
different font the second time -- a mono-spaced font designed
specifically for use with the script.
The script, "bigfig", is in the next message, with subject
"bigfig #2-script".
The font, "bigfig.flf" is in the message after that, with subject
"bigfig #3-font".
Here are some examples:
% echo Hi, y\'all! | figlet -c
