Figlet Font Browser

Here's the current selection of figlet fonts available on the sdf cluster along with their names. The fonts are stored in the default figlet font directory '/sys/pkg93/share/figlet/' and can be called with the -f option: 'figlet -f font-name texttofiglet'. There are a number of other useful options to use. See 'man figlet' and also the Figlet homepage. The figlet font browser has been moved [HERE] from the front page for convenience.
