                            Introduction
======================================================================
FIGlet is a computer program that generates text banners, in a variety
of typefaces, composed of letters made up of conglomerations of
smaller ASCII characters (see ASCII art). The name derives from
"Frank, Ian and Glenn's letters".

Being free software, FIGlet is commonly included as part of many
Unix-like operating systems (Linux, BSD, etc.) distributions, but it
has been ported to other platforms as well. The official FIGlet FTP
site includes precompiled ports for the Acorn, Amiga, Apple II, Atari
ST, BeOS, Mac, MS-DOS, NeXTSTEP, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows, as well
as a reimplementation in Perl (Text::FIGlet). There are third-party
reimplementations of FIGlet in Java (including one embedded in the
JavE ASCII art editor), JavaScript, PHP, Python, and Go. DuckDuckgo
also has their own Figlet version, to be able to use it you need to
type "Figlet [text]" and you can easily Copy & Paste everywhere


                              Behavior
======================================================================
FIGlet can read from standard input or accept a message as part of the
command line. It prints to standard output. Some common arguments
(options) are:
* -f to select a font file. (font files are available
[http://www.figlet.org/fontdb.cgi here])
* -d to change the directory for fonts.
* -c centers the output.
* -l left-aligns the output.
* -r right-aligns the output.
* -t sets the output width to the terminal width.
* -w specifies a custom output width.
* -k enables kerning, printing each letter of the message
individually, instead of merged into the adjacent letters.


                            Sample usage
======================================================================
An example of output generated by FIGlet is shown below.

[user@hostname ~]$ figlet 7MO
_____ __  __  ___
|___  |  \/  |/ _ \
/ /| |\/| | | | |
/ / | |  | | |_| |
/_/  |_|  |_|\___/



The following command:

[user@hostname ~]$ figlet -ct -f roman Wikipedia

generates this output:

oooooo   oooooo     oooo  o8o  oooo         o8o
.o8   o8o
`888.    `888.     .8'   `"'  `888         `"'
"888   `"'
`888.   .8888.   .8'   oooo   888  oooo  oooo  oo.ooooo.   .ooooo.
.oooo888  oooo   .oooo.
`888  .8'`888. .8'    `888   888 .8P'   `888   888' `88b d88' `88b
d88' `888  `888  `P  )88b
`888.8'  `888.8'      888   888888.     888   888   888 888ooo888
888   888   888   .oP"888
`888'    `888'       888   888 `88b.   888   888   888 888    .o
888   888   888  d8(  888
`8'      `8'       o888o o888o o888o o888o  888bod8P' `Y8bod8P'
`Y8bod88P" o888o `Y888""8o
888
o888o


The -ct options centers the text and makes it take up the full width
of the terminal. The -f roman option specifies the 'roman' font file.

                    FIGlet-based ASCII typefaces
======================================================================
Eric Olson's 2002 FIG typeface family is a series of OpenType fonts
similar to the output of FIGlet.

TOIlet seeks to extend FIGlet to use colour text. FIGlet supports
TOIlet fonts as of version 2.2.4.
