Package description for 'figlet'

FIGlet is a program for making large letters out of ordinary text

 FIGlet prints its input  using  large  characters  (called
 ``FIGcharacters'')made  up  of  ordinary screen characters
 (called ``sub-characters'').  FIGlet output  is  generally
 reminiscent of the sort of ``signatures'' many people like
 to put at the end of e-mail and UseNet  messages.   It  is
 also  reminiscent  of  the output of some banner programs,
 although it is oriented normally, not sideways.
