here another pretty useless command:

DESCRIPTION
FIGlet prints its input using large characters (called ``FIGcharacters'')made up of ordinary screen
characters (called ``sub-characters''). FIGlet output is generally reminiscent of the sort of ``sig‐
natures'' many people like to put at the end of e-mail and UseNet messages. It is also reminiscent
of the output of some banner programs, although it is oriented normally, not sideways.
FIGlet can print in a variety of fonts, both left-to-right and right-to-left, with adjacent FIGchar‐
acters kerned and ``smushed'' together in various ways. FIGlet fonts are stored in separate files,
which can be identified by the suffix ``.flf''. In systems with UTF-8 support FIGlet may also sup‐
port TOIlet ``.tlf'' fonts. Most FIGlet font files will be stored in FIGlet's default font direc‐
tory.
FIGlet can also use ``control files'', which tell it to map certain input characters to certain other
characters, similar to the Unix tr command. Control files can be identified by the suffix ``.flc''.
Most FIGlet control files will be stored in FIGlet's default font directory.
You can store FIGlet fonts and control files in compressed form. See COMPRESSED FONTS.
