I am looking for an ascii picture of my name in olde english type text.
to give you an example of what I'm looking for, this is for an signature
file for my email.
I would like it to be just the letters:
Dirk
Let it be known that I do not wish it to be TOO olde english.  I think you
all know what i'm talking about:  I wish it to be readable.
Thank you all for your time.

This is not very good, I made it from scratch just now, it is not a fig font
(at least I think it is not).

Thank you very much, but I still was looking for a more of an Olde English
type of font for this.  I think you did a very fine job on this one though,
and until I find one that better suits my purpose, I will be glad to use
this as my Signature file.
Thank you.

Here you go:

\__,--,  <>      /| _
 ||   || /| /|<> ||'))
 ||   || ||'||   ||\\
-'L__,' -'`-'`- -'`-``- 

How's that? It's only four lines, too ...
