Hi Guys,

I'm making an ASCII Text generator in CGI.
It'll be a form where you enter any text and chose the font and it returns text
in a "style" kind of way that can be used in email and newsgroup sigs.
Any ideas? Anyone know where I can find ASCII fonts for use in this CGI Program?
I've got one font till now (I made it) so I'll inform everyone here to check it out
on the web once its ready.

If Anyone can make a font on your own of the letters A-Z  a-z and 1-9,
along with < > , . / \ ? { } [ ] ( ) ~ ! @ # $ % & * ^, please let me know and email it
to me :). I would include your name in the credits section of the program.

Thanks!
               _\\|//_

Have a look at:
  http://www.surfplaza.com/figlet/
  http://www.jave.de/figlet/figfont.txt
  (and http://www.jave.de)

You will find out a lot of interesting things :)

And don't forget to put your new font online or convert it to a FIGlet
font :)
