figlet: Show available FIGlet fonts.
$ showfigfonts ${optional_string_to_display}
try on your machine

The command "showfigfonts" is used to display the available fonts for creating ASCII art figures in a terminal. Here is an explanation of the different parts of the command:

  • "showfigfonts": This is the main command itself and is used to invoke the functionality of displaying the available fonts.

  • "${optional_string_to_display}": This part is optional and can be used to specify a custom string that will be displayed using each font. By providing this optional string, you can preview how your custom text would look with different fonts.

To use this command, you would typically type it into a terminal or command prompt and press enter. The available fonts for creating ASCII art will then be listed, and if you provided an optional string, it will be displayed in each font alongside its corresponding name.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
