SHOWFIGFONTS(6)

💖 SHOWFIGFONTS(6) 💖

okay bestie so this is a page from the Games Manual section, and it's all about showfigfonts — the lil icon that prints out every figlet font you have, plus a lil sample of each one. yes, literally all of them. it's giving font buffet. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

showfigfonts — prints a list of available figlet fonts 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

showfigfonts [ -d directory ] [ word ]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the tea: showfigfonts prints a list of all the available figlet fonts, along with a sample of each font. like, every font gets to show off its little outfit. 👑

• if you hand it a directory, it lists the fonts in that directory instead. no directory? it just uses the default font directory, nbd. 💜
• if you hand it a word, it prints that word in each font. no word? it prints the font name instead. periodt. ✨

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

want to run showfigfonts with its default settings? bestie, just type this and let it cook:

example% showfigfonts

want to print all the fonts in /usr/share/fonts/figlet? say less:

example% showfigfonts -d /usr/share/fonts/figlet

want to print the word foo using all available fonts? iconic behaviour, honestly:

example% showfigfonts foo
