     [alt.fan.warlord] Big Ugly ASCII Font.  A special form of
     ASCII art.  Various programs exist for rendering text
     strings into block, bloob, and pseudo-script fonts in cells
     between four and six character cells on a side; this is
     smaller than the letters generated by older banner programs.
     These are sometimes used to render one's name in a sig block
     , and are critically referred to as "BUAF"s.  See
     warlording.
