I think that somewhere there is a Figletiser program that can be used used to turn your complete alphabet into an *.FLF file. Having got it figletised you can then add it to the Figlet Font Library. Info on Figlet from the Ascii Art FAQ: " The Figlet home page is at http://st-www.cs.uiuc.edu/users/chai/figlet.html. This site links to the FTP site ftp://ftp.internexus.net/pub/figlet/, where you can download versions of the program for many different platforms. " I suspect that the Figletiser may only be available in source code so that you need to be able to compile the program in a suitable format to run it on your own Operating System. I cannot recall ever seeing a FIGLETISER.EXE program for MS-DOS which will figletise your existing Font for you and allow it to be used with FIGLET.EXE which actually prints out the existing *.FLF fonts. Here is a relatively recent definitive posting from one of the authors of figlet and he would be able to tell you where the Figletiser program is located. Email to Ian Chai should get you a definitive answer to any questions you have about figletising your 3D-font. ==================================================================== Newsgroups: rec.arts.ascii,schl.stu.ascii-art From: cha...@chip.cs.uiuc.edu (Ian Chai) Subject: [INFO] FIGlet 2.1.2 Released Message-ID: <ber...@netcom.com> Date: Mon, 16 Sep 1996 22:54:29 GMT FTP Note, figlet release 2.1.1, 16 September 1996 ------------------------------------------------- UNIX source code available at ftp://ftp.nicoh.com/pub/figlet/program/unix/figlet2.1.2.tar.gz Note: figlet 2.1.2 is a minor revision of figlet 2.1.1. The files README, FTP-NOTE, figlet.c and figlet.6 have been changed. All other files are identical with the 2.1.1 release. These changes were made by Gilbert Healton <ghe...@nmia.com> as Glenn Chappell is now busy as a new professor of Mathematics. For those making figlet 2.1.2 available by anonymous FTP: please put the version number (2.1.2) in the filename, so that FTP'ers can know they're not getting the same program they already have. Also, for those who maintain archives of figlet fonts, please note that all of the standard fonts have been changed, as of release 2.1, to include non-ASCII characters. These fonts are the following: big.flf block.flf bubble.flf digital.flf lean.flf mini.flf script.flf shadow.flf slant.flf small.flf smscript.flf smshadow.flf smslant.dld standard.flf term.flf The new versions of these fonts can be identified by the words "figlet release 2.1" somewhere in the first few lines. These fonts are included in the standard figlet 2.1.2 package, and are also available by anonymous FTP from "ftp.nicoh.com", in directory "pub/figlet/fonts/ours". -- .......................................................................
