LP whitespace fail.  There appear to be two ways.  Either a bitmap font
where each cell corresponds to one pixel. Looking at the header
information:

  $ head /usr/share/figlet/banner.flf | grep BDF
  Cyrillic characters from "koi8x8" BDF font.

it appears fairly easy to get this from the same standardised BDF
intermediate bitmap font that we'll probably need to use during the VC
Console/bterm/Grub bitmap export process.  Such a font output could be
automatically generated from the bi-level hinted forms and would be very
similar to:

  figlet -f banner Ubuntu!

the second option is to try and make an outline font that approximates
the outline of the letters (the stroke, instead of the fill).  This
would produce a result closer to:

  figlet -W -f standard Ubuntu!

but would be harder to do as I don't know if it could be automatically
generated and might need to be a hand-created workalike.
