seems like figlet is programmed as an 16 bit application which plays not very well on 64bit aix...recompiled to 64bit...works. please rebuild the package.

Hi,
figlet from aixtoolbox just outputs garbage. setting FIGLIB to fonts dir changes nothing, also setting TERM to whatever comes to mind is of no help.
