BigText utilizes X11 fonts to produce large text, providing a useful print tool.
With BigText, users can easily pick a font of their choice and print any banner text they desire. All they have to do is use xlsfonts(1) or xfontsel(1) to choose a font and then launch the bigtext(1) command. The application makes it incredibly simple to create banners that stand out and capture the audience’s attention.
The latest release of BigText comes equipped with some noteworthy features. Firstly, there are two internal fonts available: “fixed” and “variable”.

Lastly, users can take advantage of the -list feature that displays all the available fonts, giving them a broad range of options to choose from.
