######### Twiglets
######### ========
##
## It's a bit like Figlets, but uses ordinary
## Amiga fonts, pixilates them into ascii and
## prints them vertically downwards, like the
## example on the left, which is the 10pt
## "Ultraline" font.
##
I was trying out some code for another
## ## ## project, and accidentally wrote this.
## ## ##
## ## ## Usage
## ## ## =====
## ## ##
## ## Template:
## ## FONT/A,SIZE/A,PIXCHAR/K,NOCHAR/K,TEXT/F/A
#########
######### FONT = font name, with the ".font" extension
## SIZE = point size of the font
##
## PIXCHAR = the character to use to plot a
## pixel in ascii (default = *)
##
## NOCHAR = the character to use to plot a
## "non-pixel" in ascii (default space)
#########
######### TEXT = the text to render
######### Examples
######### ========
##
## ## twiglets topaz.font 8 Chris
## ##
## ## writes "Chris" in 8 character high Topaz text.
## ##
#########
######### twiglets helvetica.font 20 PIXCHAR=":" Hello
## writes "Hello" in 20 character high Helvetica,
## using colons on a plain background.
##
## Tips
## ====
##
## Although Twiglets will happily use any font
######### supported by the font libraries on your system,
######### due to the nature of the program it is
better to use bitmapped fonts.
#########
######### Future
======
######### There are unlikely to be any further releases,
######### however if you find any bugs - especially in
regards to non-ASCII characters in other
######### character sets - please let me know. If you
######### would like the source code, ask me and maybe
you will get it.
