Eftiwall font

Here's a very old posting of what is said to be a Figlet Font named
"Eftiwall" based on Luke the Spook. I cannot easily see how it could
be used with Figlet.
Has anyone got, or used, a copy of this Figlet font?
Is it worth figletising?

This is a map of most of a font for the 'Figlet' program
The font is called 'Eftiwall'

I got the latest Figlet 2.2 version from there and the 76kb "figfont.txt" file is awesome in amount of detailed information it contains...far more than the manual itself. I also got the Contributed Fonts and there is a 3.3 Mb file ( the mind boggles as to contents) of International Fonts which I did not download. Also there is a link to the official figlet site at Ian Chai's homepage which endorses the archive at ftp.internexus.net: ----------------- extract from Ian Chai's page -------------------- Who do I get FIGlet from? Laszlo Vecsey has been kind enough to provide space on his FTP server, ftp://ftp.internexus.net/pub/figlet/. o UNIX (source code) and associated utilities o MS-DOS o Macintosh FIGlet for MacOS page o Amiga o Apple II GS - GNO o Atari ST o Acorn o OS/2 (FIGshell, a GUI-based shell for FIGlet for OS/2) o NeXTstep o Microsoft Windows ( FIGWin, a re-implementation of FIGlet with a GUI) Many fonts are also available: o Standard distribution o Contributed fonts o International fonts o MS-DOS specific fonts o Browse available fonts WUARCHIVE has a mirror of FIGlet at ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/graphics/graphics/misc/figlet ------------------------- end of extract ------------------------- So having now seen the complete EFTIWALL.FLF font and the explanatory text file I have a better idea of how it works although its use is obviously limited. You have to type in a character to select a particular picture so you need the complete reference chart: ======== eftiwall.txt =====================================================

I was reading the eye-catching list of http:// sites for web browsers which appears below that paragraph and readily catches the eye.

What site is that site then? I bet it doesn't have that 3.3 megabyte compressed file of International Fonts...there must be hundreds of 'em in there. Bye,

The real pain is in moving all the letters into a vertical line listing at the left margin so that the figlet codes can be added. A good wordprocessor with a few tricks can be useful to assist in making the addition of figlet codes to each character. The interesting part is the testing after figletisation to see how each font looks when used in practice. I have found Normand Veilleux's Font which he said could not be figletised but I think I can prove him wrong. It is a big font. BTW Have you had a look at that 3.3 megabyte International Font file on the Figlet archive? Bye,
