Yes, I know Figlet makes numerals. But I wanted feedback on *mine* and how
it can be improved. Meanwhile, I made another (the second picture I've
ever made), thus:

  .888.  
d8'   '8b
`      8b
     .8P 
   .8P'  
  .8P'   
 .88MSH98

Somewhat better, don't you think? Feedback, please. E-mail {msh21 at is7
dot nyu dot edu). Thanks.

It's no longer lopsided, a little more solid, what do you think:

 ,d88b.
d8'  '8b
`      8b
      ,8'
    .d8'
  .d8'
.d8'
8888MSH98

How about:

 ,d888b.
d8'   `8b
`'    ,8P
    .8P
  .8P'
 .8P'
.888MSH98

Ive made the top curve a little more solid, I've shifted the bottom line
one left and made it one longer, so it isn't lopsided anymore.

If you designed a whole alphabet and numerals with that, u could make a
figlet font outa it - I think it would look quite nice - and a new FIGlet
font is something I haven`t seen for a while (not that I watch very
closely, so I`m probably wrong! :)   )
