Here is the final version of my script font.  I had previously
posted the lowercase letters and part of the uppercase letters.

For ease of use, I have regrouped all the uppercase letters
together and divided the lowercase letters into two groups:  one
contains the regular letters and the other contains the letters
that would follow 'b', 'o', 'v' or 'w'.  I have also included a
"space" after the 'z'.  It may never be used for screen words but
could be handy for printed material.

Also note that since FIGLET cannot handle such a font because of
the two sets of lowercase letters, you will have to create your
words by hand.  This is relatively easy when your word processor
has a block copy function.  Nonetheless, in order to simplify the
process as much as possible I have included horizontal and vertical
guidelines.

When you copy a letter from this font take along with it the two
horizontal guidelines (top and bottom) while excluding the vertical
guidelines.  Then, to connect letters together just keep connecting
the top guidelines.  The letters will align automatically.

At times, you will have to delete a portion of the area between two
letters in order for them to connect properly (manual kerning).  In
other cases you may have to add an '8' to fill the gap between the
two letters.  In any case, always leave a minimum of two spaces
between the letters (except where they actually touch).  This
appears to give the best results.

Feel free to experiment with it and send me your comments if you
have any.  Have fun.

My compliments on the best ASCII font I've ever seen.  Then again, I
expected no less from the great Normand.  I have half a mind to
figletize it anyway, screw the special-letter adaptations.  Or, perhaps
this would be worth a new version of Figlet to allow for character
combinations ... what do you say, Frank, Ian or Glenn?

Nice sig.  The N looks familiar....:)

What!!!  And desecrate the font!  :-(

If someone is willing to figletize the font you should consider
adding the punctuation marks.  Perhaps those of the Univers font
will do.  The extra 26 lowercase letters could replace other
characters in the ASCII set like the ten digits for example.

Once everything is in place, it would be possible to write a
little C program that would take the text and substitute the
odd characters where the special set of lowercase letters is
needed and pass that string to FIGLET.

Would this work ?  Is someone willing to take it from here ?

You're right, that would never do.  You put in a lot of work making
those duplicates, I'm sure.

Excellent idea, Normand.  Yes, I think it would work ... 78 (=26*3)
letters leaves 17 other characters plus a space, which would probably
be enough (who needs a Figletized %, for example?).  Sometime when
... wait!  Wouldn't it be almost as easy just to write a specialized
Figlet clone for just this one font?  Well, I'll look into it sometime
and let you all know if I get anything.

	How about a figlet control font? I haven't used any yet, but I
think this is what they're for...

Good!  I'm FIGLET illeterate!  If my ASCII memory serves me right Glenn 
Chapell figletized my UNIVERS font.  This is as far as I can go with the
font, so please feel free to take over.
