figlet

Generate ASCII banners from user input. See also: showfigfonts. More information: http://www.figlet.org/figlet-man.html.

• Generate by directly inputting text:

figlet input_text

• Use a custom [f]ont file:

figlet input_text -f path/to/font_file.flf

• Use a [f]ont from the default font directory (the extension can be omitted):

figlet input_text -f font_filename

• Pipe command output through FIGlet:

command | figlet

• Show available FIGlet fonts:

showfigfonts optional_string_to_display

• Use the full width of the [t]erminal and [c]enter the input text:

figlet -t -c input_text

• Display all characters at full [W]idth to avoid overlapping:

figlet -W input_text
