# You can list all the possible fonts with `ruby-figlet list`
# To preview the fonts, you could do something like this:
OLDIFS=$IFS; IFS=$'\n'; for f in $(ruby-figlet list); do printf "\n\n\nFont: \"$f\":\n\n"; ruby-figlet "$f " -f "$f"; done; IFS=$OLDIFS
# please note that the list of fonts is very long, and will flood the terminal.But mainly as a library
