Does anyone know a tool like this that doesn't send queries to the server? I know there are command-line options, but I'm looking for something like a github.io URL that has no server-side component.

I've made something similar http://getlogohit.space/ that's just a GitHub Page. The repo can be found here: https://github.com/TheKnarf/get-logo-hit-space

There appears to be at least two ECMAScript implementations that are compatible with the FIGlet font specification: https://github.com/scottgonzalez/figlet-js https://github.com/patorjk/figlet.js

There's something hilarious and wonderful about the phrase "compatible with the FIGlet font specification".

Looks like a frontend for the command line utility FIGlet ( http://www.figlet.org/ ) or toilet ( http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/toilet ).

Except it's actually worse than typical frontends. It's maybe cleaner looking, but it doesn't allow you to test all font types at the same time.

http://www.network-science.de/ascii/ This one exists since 1996 and allows all fonts to be rendered. Option is very far on to top of font selection drop—down.

Edit: that to this
