figlet: Use a custom font file.

figlet

$ figlet ${input_text} -f ${path-to-font_file-flf}

try on your machine

This command is using a program called "figlet" to generate ASCII text art using a specific font file. Here is an explanation of each part of the command:

${input_text}: This is a placeholder for the text that you want to convert into ASCII art. You should replace ${input_text} with the actual text you want to use. For example, if you want to convert the word "hello", you would replace ${input_text} with "hello".
-f ${path-to-font_file-flf}: This option specifies the font file to be used for generating ASCII art. You need to provide the path to the font file after the -f flag. Replace ${path-to-font_file-flf} with the actual path to the font file you want to use. The font file has a .flf extension and contains the characters and formatting information for the ASCII art font.

Overall, this command takes the input text and uses the specified font file to generate ASCII art text. The resulting text will be displayed in the terminal.
