figlet in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own figlet package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so figlet should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Commands it gives you

  • figlet
  • chkfont
  • figlet-figlet
  • figlist
  • showfigfonts

Type one in Breadstick's Terminal to run it.

Terminal toys run in Breadstick's Terminal as on any Linux system. More in the docs: The Terminal.

About figlet

From Debian's package description

FIGlet (Frank, Ian & Glenn's Letters) is a program that creates large characters out of ordinary screen characters.

It can create characters in many different styles and can kern and "smush" these characters together in various ways. FIGlet output is generally reminiscent of the sort of "signatures" many people like to put at the end of e-mail, Usenet and MOTD messages.

From Debian's description of the figlet package, under that package's license.
