Just was playing with XFree86 bitmap:

[nabis@trinity:nabis]$ bitamp
(draw something, save it as pic, for example)

[nabis@trinity:nabis]$ cat pic
#define pic_width 86
#define pic_height 16
static unsigned char pic_bits[] = {

/* copy this to a text file, you can view it with xv */

[nabis@trinity:nabis]$ xv pic

converting it to ASCII:
[nabis@trinity:nabis]$ bmtoa pic | tr '#' '|' | tr '-' '.' > pic.txt
