Includes some ISO Latin-1 characters
Permission is hereby given to modify this font, as long as the
modifier's name is placed on a comment line.
Use of this font allows figlet to convert ASCII to International Morse
Code.
The following substitutions have been made, i.e., if figlet receives a
character on the left as input, it will print the Morse Code for the
character on the right:
! -> .
; -> :
[]{} -> ()
German s-z -> ss
Latin-1 "prime" -> '
# -> <Delete last word>
* -> Ch
Except as noted above, characters not available in Morse Code will print
as "?".
Inter-word spaces have been enlarged to improve readability. To conform
to the standards for automatic transmission of Morse Code, use smushmode
zero ("figlet -f morse -m0"); wait the duration of a dot for each blank
in the output, as well as between any two output characters (dots,
dashes or blanks).
Explanation of first line:
flf2 - "magic number" for file identification
a - should always be `a', for now
$ - the "hardblank" -- prints as a blank, but can't be smushed
1 - height of a character
1 - height of a character, not including descenders
30 - max line length (excluding comment lines) + a fudge factor
-1 - default smushmode for this font
40 - number of comment lines Where it stands
