Nice to know someone likes hatchet.flf :-) You don't really seem to need Figlet though because you are able to freehand the letters easily. Smaller font too...only 5 lines...or 6 with the provision for the lower case descenders. :-) Here's what hatchet.flf does to your name and I can already see refinements that can be made which only become apparent when you actually start putting a Figfont into use: Original: /( ( -||=]\\ (\ \(|| || || () |) ||==|/ ||==(\ || || || || || || || || || || \) \\> /( /( /( /( ( -||=]\\ ( -|| || ( -|| ( -|| \(|| || \(|| || \(|| \(|| ||==|/ ||==|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||=]=|| And a redo with some of the letters tweaked slightly: /( ( -||=]\\ (\ |) \(|| || || () || ||==|/ ||==(\ || || || || || || || (/ || || \) \\> /( /( /( /( ( -||=]\\ ( -|| || ( -|| ( -|| \(|| || \(|| || \(|| \(|| ||==|/ ||==|| || || || || || || || (/ (/ (/ (/ ||=]=/) Well...improvement...or not? =(\ (:) || =||=||= || (:) || =(/ /( ( -||=]\\ \(|| || ||=|| (\ (| /)) || || || || |// )\ ||=]// \\=// \_(( | ) (\_// /
