FreeBSD misc : figlet

SysV banner-like program prints strings in large fancy ASCII art

 Figlet is a program that creates large ASCII art characters out of ordinary
screen characters

      _ _ _          _   _     _       
     | (_) | _____  | |_| |__ (_)___   
     | | | |/ / _ \ | __| '_ \| / __|  
     | | |   <  __/ | |_| | | | \__ \_ 
     |_|_|_|\_\___|  \__|_| |_|_|___(_)


Figlet can print in a variety of fonts, both left-to-right and right-to-left.
Figlet comes with several fonts.  Also, many other fonts are avaiable,
including Hebrew, Cyrillic (Russian), and Greek.

There is also a "Figlet Home Page" on the Worldwide Web.
