I think you're talking about tumbling letters, like: __ ____ __ ____ __ __ /\ \ / \_\ / /\ / \ \ / |\ / /\ / \_\ / /\ |_| / / /| /\ \ \ / ||/ / / / /\ | |\ \/ /_/_ / / / \ \/ \ \ / |/ / / / \/ |_| \ __ \_\ /_/ / \ /\ \_\ / /| / / / /\ ./_/ \ \ \/_/_\_\/ \ \ \/_// / | / / \ \/ |_| \ \_\ /_/\ \ \_\ /_/ /|_/ / \__/_/ \/_/ \_\/ \/_/ \_\/ \_\/ I've tried to do tumbling letters for 'Scarecrow' but there isn't enough room to do them well enough. I guess I should try again. It is possible to do it like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ut making them tumble uses too much space side to side. I suppose I could make them tumble if I made them smaller, but I don't know if it would work out either. There are a lot of sigs I have made for myself that I have never used, because they didn't turn out the way I thought they would. -- -:-:-- :--=- =-==-= =#=###= ###### ##=#= =##-=#- ==-=-- -=- -:- -:- ::-:--: :--=-= -=-====# =#=##=#= ###### ##=##= #=#==-#= -=-==--- =-: --: :-: :-: :-- =-= =-= -== =## ### ##= =#= =-= ==- =-- -=- -:- -:: :-::-- -:- -=-==-== =#==##= ##### ##= #===#=- -=- -=- =-= -:- ::- ::-:-- -:- --==--== ==###= ##### ##= =#=#=- ==- --= -=- --: :-: :-- :-- -== =-= #=# =## ### #=# #=# =-= =-- -=- =-: -:- -:: ::-::-- -:--=- =-= -== =#= ##= ###### ##=#=# =#= #=- ==--=--- -=--:--:-:-:: :::-:- -:-== -=- =-= =## =## ###### ##=#= ##= =#= -==--= =-=--:--:::
