Back in the late eighties I seem to remember using a unix utility method named 'banner' - (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banner_(Unix) It basically took a string of text and 'rendered' it as a larger text 'banner' using each character as blocks to form the original character. It was usually used at the start of print runs to create a heading for multi-sheet reports.
Does anyone know of a C# library that reproduces this functionality?
I remember a similar thing on the VAX mainframes at college. useful with a roomful of people banging in Pascal programs on VT100 terminals, and only one matrix printer behind closed doors in the hallowed office where the IT staff worked.
Anyway, this is a C# ASCII art creator - if you could find a way of rendering your text to a graphic file you could then convert it.
You probably could invoke a free software C program doing the same, perhaps figlet
