Hmmm....

I recall a program called ANYFONT which I seem to remember was made by Paul
Burton (author of FigWin). Check out ftp://ftp.internexus.net/pub/figlet/
and see what's in the Windows software directory... I think that was where I
got it from.
It basically reforms ascii art (adds/removes spaces) to fit into any font.
(hence the name <g>)

Hope this helps,
-Martin
