It can print in a variety of fonts, both left-to-right and right-to-left, with adjacent characters kerned and "smushed" together in various ways. FIGlet output is generally reminiscent of the sort of "signatures" many people like to put at the end of e-mail, Usenet and MOTD messages. More fonts can be downloaded from the JavE FIGlet fonts library: Commonly used command line options are: * **-f *fontfile***: Select the font. The .flf suffix may be left off of fontfile. * **-d *fontdirectory***: Change the default font directory. FIGlet looks for fonts first in the default directory and then in the current directory. * **-c**, **-l**, **-r**, **-x**: These options handle the justification of FIGlet output. **-c** centers the output horizontally. **-l** makes the output flush-left. **-r** makes it flush-right. **-x** (default) sets the justification according to whether left-to-right or right-to-left text is selected. * **-t**, **-w *outputwidth***: These options control the output width. Normally, FIGlet assumes 80 columns. **-t** sets the output width to the terminal width. * **-p**, **-n**: These options control how FIGlet handles newlines. **-p** puts FIGlet into paragraph mode, which eliminates some unnecessary line breaks. **-n** (default) puts FIGlet back to normal, in which every newline FIGlet reads causes it to produce a line break. * **-s**, **-S**, **-k**, **-W**, **-o**: These options control how FIGlet spaces characters. **-s** (default) and **-S** cause "smushing" (characters are displayed as close together as possible), **-k** causes "kerning" (as many blanks as possible are removed between characters), **-W** makes FIGlet display all characters in full width, which may be fixed or variable, depending on the font. The difference between **-s** and **-S** is that **-s** will not smush a font whose author specified kerning or full width as the default layoutmode, whereas **-S** will attempt to do so. See the complete list of command line options in the developer website. ### Package name * figlet --- ### License * BSD-3-Clause --- ### Last updated * 12 May 2020 - latest/stable * 12 May 2020 - latest/beta This snap hasn't been updated in a while.
