Talk: Light and Dark Effects

Talk: Light and Dark Effects

   I suggested that the person who want a fade effect use the alligator 
font for Figlet, even though it was a vertical effect, not horizontal.  I 
then showed one of my sigs:

   No, my sig was hand drawn.  Alligator was derived from it.  It indeed 
is rather narrow, so that "Scarecrow" can fit.

   Also notice that the letters are a little taller, rounder, and have a 
row of periods at the top.
