https://github.com/cmatsuoka/figlet-fontsA comprehensive collection of FIGlet fonts used to create ASCII art banners. Includes standard distribution fonts, CJK (Chinese-Japanese-Korean) fonts for FIGlet 2.2, Commodore 64 and MS-DOS fonts, and the Obanner font designed to replicate the UNIX banner(6) command.
banner(6) command by Mark Horton (1993). It is intended to replicate the look of the classic banner utility, distinguishing it from the default banner font shipped with FIGlet.banner(6) command by Mark Horton (1993). It is intended to replicate the 'original' banner style, distinguishing it from the default banner font shipped with FIGlet. The font is provided in various sizes; the number at the end of the filename (e.g., Obanner80) indicates the intended output width of the original banner command (e.g., banner -w 80).banner command. For example, Obanner80 corresponds to the output of banner -w 80.To use the Obanner font, you must specify the font name (e.g., Obanner16) and set the width flag to -w 1. Because banner(6) produces vertical output with one character per row, using a width greater than 1 will result in unexpected output.
To achieve the most accurate replication of the original banner(6) output, you should also use the -A flag and pipe the output through a Perl command to strip trailing whitespace.
# Standard usage
figlet -f Obanner16 -w 1 -A foo
# Most accurate replication (stripping trailing whitespace)
figlet -f Obanner16 -w 1 -A foo | perl -p -e 's/^\s+$//'Because banner(6) produces vertical output (one character per row), you must use the -w 1 flag when using Obanner fonts in FIGlet. To achieve exact replication of the original banner output, you should use the -A flag and strip trailing whitespace using a tool like perl to account for FIGlet's design constraints.
# Standard usage for Obanner
figlet -f Obanner16 -w 1 -A foo
# For exact replication of banner(6) output
figlet -f Obanner16 -w 1 -A foo | perl -p -e 's/^\s+$//'The repository organizes fonts into the following categories:
