Convert persian text to ascii art

Araste

making ascii-art out of Persian/Arabic text

Similar to the figlet and toilet tools, but for Persian and Arabic texts.

usage:

araste <your text>

use -f switch to choose font

araste 'your persian/arabic text' -f 'fontpath or fontname'

to get a list of installed fonts:

araste --list

for now, there are a few fonts that you can use:

aipara
aipara_mini

araste -h

an output with the default font (aipara):
