Good to Know

• Only PNG images can be created with laudanum. Transparent backgrounds FTW.

• The size of the resultant logo is relative to the size of the rendered ASCII art. Resizing cannot be accomplished with laudanum for right now. Resize yourself in the meantime with another tool.

• Every font in the art font gallery is available through laudanum.

• The default character font file can be found in the fonts/ submodule of this package. Use the font_path parameter for laudanum.logo.Logo if you prefer something else.
