View examples of all fonts

There are a ton of fonts to choose from, and I love more choices than less. But I have no idea what they look like without manually testing out each one. Is there a site with the font examples somewhere we can look at?

You can create a command line called figlet-preview with:

#! /usr/bin/env zsh

figlet -l|xargs -I FONT sh -c 'echo "FONT:" && echo '' && figlet -f "FONT" "'$1'" && echo "-------------------------"'

and use it like this $ figlet-preview "hello".

I realized that this library hasn't been updated for a long time, so I forked a copy and released console-figlet, you are welcome to try it out.
