I'd like to convert an image to ASCII art with a program or graphics library but I would like to specify which palette (of symbols) to use. So basically I want an image which is rendered as Text from some alphabet A that is a subset of the full ASCII-Table, for example A := {a,b,c,x,y,z,@,\,/} or so.

Is there a library / program for such conversions that let's you specify the palette for the text-rendering?

Cheers

  • http://www.figlet.org/: FIGlet is a program for making large letters out of ordinary text - unfortunately I want to convert an image so no luck there :/ – Paul Jun 01 '10 at 18:51

You want Figlet, which is fully Unicode compliant, supports a variety of typefaces, and has +1 awesome.
