Where it works

At 12 rows this is a display face; it needs the space and repays it.

About 10 columns per character. "Hello" alone runs 50 columns, so keep the text short or it will wrap.

Figlet release 2.1 -- August 12, 1994

Date: 23 Aug 1994

Explanation of first line:

flf2 - "magic number" for file identification

a - should always be `a', for now

$ - the "hardblank" -- prints as a blank, but can't be smushed

12 - height of a character

9 - height of a character, not including descenders

25 - max line length (excluding comment lines) + a fudge factor

0 - default smushmode for this font (like "-m 0" on command line)

15 - number of comment lines

0 - rtol
