This figfont only displays letters, numbers, and normal punctuation (no special characters). Full-on figfonts are insanely detailed! Oh, also, you'll probably want to use the -W flag on figlet, which is "full width." Kerning is cool, but it doesn't look very good with this font. I'm also planning on making a more deluxe font that's solid with different texture characters to represent the traditional "TRON shading." (Hah, phong shaded figfonts!)
In another classic ripoff move by yours truly, I took the "Zippy the Pinhead" infobot module and the quotes page from the official tom waits homepage as well as a few personal favorite quotes (not Ben Franklin) and made a Tom Waits quote module for the IRC Infobot by Kevin Lenzo. You can see the Tom Waits module in action in channel #tron on us.slashnet.org. Instructions and the latest perl modules are found here.
