Reversed text bug for ivrit font #45

Closed faressoft closed 5 years ago

faressoft commented 5 years ago

The ivrit font has a weird behaviour. The text is printed as reversed text.

console.log(figlet.textSync('Logged In', {
  font: 'ivrit'
}));

That's part of the font's design. If you look at the font's header [1], you'll see this line:

flf2a$ 6 5 76 15 14 1 16271

The 7th parameter is a 1, which indicates the print direction [2]. So that font was designed to print it's input backwards.
