C Large sizable text for the terminal using ncurses?

[Spartrekus]

Hello,

For instance nclock or terminal tty clock can display the time with larger chars.

Would you know a source code to display text (with resizing) to larger one using the getmaxxy / rows / cols of the present terminal?

thank you

Not sure what you're looking for exactly, but check misc/figlet.

For instance nclock or terminal tty clock can display the time with larger chars.

Neither of those actually use a larger font. The clock's digits are drawn using normal sized characters.

As SirDice said there's no custom font. Have a look in here: ttyclock. It's just setting background using ASCII chars.

I made this. Done... out from my void to give large chars
