I am glad to announce the first public version of fcbanner, a banner variant
based on the fontconfig library. It thus can use various vectorial fonts and
draw Unicode text (as long as there are no fancy ligatures).

ObASCII: to show that Unicode is not a problem, the title of a very good
comic that I long to finish re-reading (translated), with the Arphic KaitiM
font:
