ASCII Art Text Generation Using figlet
The Linux utility figlet can be used to generate ASCII art text.
This list of available fonts can be found as follows:
> ls /usr/share/figlet/*.flf | sed 's/.*\///; s/\.flf$//'
Text can be generated as follows:
> echo "Hello World" | figlet -f <font-name>
Font Examples
We can run the following script to generate an example of each available font:
for f in $(ls /usr/share/figlet/*.flf | sed 's/.*\///; s/\.flf$//'); do
echo $f:
echo "Hello World!" | figlet -f $f
done
