Does anyone know where I can find some good figlet fonts?  I'm looking
for some fonts other than the standard ones that can be found all over
the place.

Specifically, I want to get some figlet-type letters that will look
good in an e-mail signature line for a university -- namely CSU.

I already have this:


       ..|'''.|  .|'''.|  '||'  '|'
     .|'     '   ||..  '   ||    |
     ||           ''|||.   ||    |
     '|.      . .     '||  ||    |
      ''|....'  |'....|'    '|..'  


...but I'm hoping to find something that looks better.  So far, I
haven't found a font that really like.

Any suggestions?

There is some although this next one appears to be the only one that is 
working at the moment;
http://mediacube.datacom.de/cgi-bin/moniteurs/figlet
and this one is software for figlets I think 
http://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/atari/umich/Telecomm/figletst.zip
I haven't checked it out yet
In http://mediacube.datacom.de/cgi-bin/moniteurs/figlet  you have a selection 
of nearly 100 different fonts with a demo to look at each font if you want to

                   Cheers from
