epriestley 935ced1edd Include "Figlet" and PEAR "Text_Figlet" in externals
Summary:
Ref T7785. This prepares for (but does not yet use) a pure PHP implementation of Figlet parsing and rendering.

Figlet is somewhat complex, but a parser already exists in PEAR. I'll make sure it's suitable and hook it up in the next diff.

Test Plan: N/A, code not reachable

encoded Unicode characters.
o Add infocode 5 to list supported font formats
o Fix rendering error caused by the previous attempt to fix invalid

Changes in FIGlet 2.2.3
-----------------------
FIGlet 2.2.3 is a revision of FIGlet 2.2.2 featuring minor bugfixes and
important licensing changes in the zipio files. The full list of
changes is:
o License changed from "Academic Free License" to "New BSD License"
(3-clause) as agreed by FIGlet authors
o New JIS X 0201 control file (Micah Cowan)
o Fix behavior of JIS0201 SHIFT-OUT and SHIFT-IN that were previouly
inverted (Micah Cowan)
o Fix memory violation when smushing at line start
o Fix handling of memory allocation errors
o Relicense Ed Hamrick zipio under the MIT license. This should
eliminate any concerns about redistribution of FIGlet as libre
software.
o Update Makefile to meet modern standards in variable naming, using
BINDIR as the pathname for binary files and reservind DESTDIR
as the extra prefix commonly used in package building.
o Add a Turbo C makefile, just because I had the compiler. (this
also tests portability to old compilers and foreign platforms)
o Add Jonathon Abbott's man pages for figlist, showfigfonts and
chkfont originally contributed to the Debian Project

License changed from "Artistic License" to "Academic Free
License" as agreed by FIGlet authors. 05 July 2005
Changes in FIGlet 2.2.1
-----------------------
FIGlet 2.2.1 is a minor revision of FIGlet 2.2. The files
README, Makefile, figfont.txt, figlet.c and figlet.6 have been
changed to reflect changes in documentation, official contact
details etc. FTP-NOTE merged into README. FAQ and CHANGES
added to the distribution.
All other files are identical with the 2.2 release.

Changes in FIGlet 2.2
---------------------
FIGlet 2.2 is a moderate revision of FIGlet 2.1.2. The new features are:
o font files and control files can be compressed using ``zip'', and
will be automatically decompressed
o new commands in controlfiles provide support for
single-byte (default), double-byte, HZ, Shift-JIS, and Unicode
UTF-8 encodings of the input
o ISO 2022 escape sequences are decoded and interpreted
o control files can now have the format of Unicode Consortium
mapping tables (two columns of numbers representing
input character and output character, no ranges, # comments)
o new options -s (smush, same as -m-2), -k (kern, same as -m0),
-S (forced smushing), and -W (full width, same as -m-1) make
-m option unnecessary except for font designers. The -S option
works even if the font's smushmode is 0 or -1, in which case
the smushmode is read from a new parameter in the
font's first line, or does universal overlapping if no such parameter
exists
o universal smushing (-o option to force it, but -S will use it
if no smush rules are available) makes FIGcharacters overlap by
one place independent of how they are constructed
more fonts smushable.
o file "figmagic" can be appended to your system magic number
file to make the "file" command recognize FIGlet files
o file "figfont.txt" is an implementation-independent specification
for FIGlet fonts and control files
o integrated support for extended characters (extended Latin in
"standard", Greek in "big", katakana in "banner", Hebrew in new
"ivrit" fonts) with appropriate controlfiles
o smushing rule 16 has changed slightly: "/\" now smushes
into "|" and "\/" smushes into "Y"; "><" still smushes
into "X" and "<>" is still not smushed at all.
o -A option introduced in FIGlet 2.1.2 is now optional;
if any words appear on the command line after the options,
they are formatted, and the standard input is not read.
These changes were made by John Cowan <cowan@ccil.org>.
Changes in FIGlet 2.1.2
------------------------
FIGlet 2.1.2 is a minor revision of FIGlet 2.1.1. The files
README, FTP-NOTE, figlet.c and figlet.6 have been changed. All other
files are identical with the 2.1.1 release.
o The only new option is -A, which causes FIGlet to read input
from the command line.
These changes were made by Gilbert Healton <ghealton@nmia.com> as Glenn
Chappell is now busy as a new professor of Mathematics.
Changes in FIGlet 2.1
----------------------
A number of minor bugs and major incompatibility problems have been
fixed. FIGlet 2.1 should compile correctly on many operating systems for
which FIGlet 2.0 did not.
o The "-F" command line option, which used to list all the available
fonts, has been removed, since it made FIGlet incompatible with some
operating systems. It has been replaced by the "figlist" script. The
"showfigfonts" script has been updated so that it no longer requires
the "-F" option to be available.
o The FIGlet font file format has been extended to allow an arbitrarily
large number of characters. The ISO Latin-1 character set, which
includes many accented letters and special symbols, has been added to
most standard fonts.
o FIGlet can now print right-to-left. This can be specified on the
command line ("-R") or in the font file. Thus, for example, Hebrew and
Arabic fonts can be handled more easily.
o FIGlet can now right justify its output. This is the default when
right-to-left printing is selected. It can also be specified on the
command line ("-r").
o FIGlet now supports "control files". These can be used to change which
character FIGlet will print when it sees a certain input character --
sort of an expanded version of the "-D" option. For example, a control
file could convert lower-case letters to upper-case or map certain
ASCII characters to accented letters. Control file names end with the
suffix ".flc". Select a control file by using "-C controlfile" on the
command line. Several controlfiles can be used at once by giving
muliple "-C" options.
o There is now a way for programs that use FIGlet to get various
information from FIGlet, for example, what version of FIGlet is being
used or the name of the default font directory. This information is
gotten through the "-I" option. See the man page for details.
