Install more figlet fonts

If you like to play with figlet or toilet, install the rest of the figlet fonts in the figlet font directory /usr/share/figlet

$ cd ~/Software
$ git clone https://github.com/cmatsuoka/figlet-fonts
$ cd figlet-fonts
$ sudo cp bdffonts/*.flf /usr/share/figlet/
$ sudo cp C64-fonts/*.flf /usr/share/figlet/
$ sudo cp contributed/*.flf /usr/share/figlet/
$ sudo cp jave/*.flf /usr/share/figlet/
$ sudo cp Obanner-canon/*.flf /usr/share/figlet/
$ sudo cp ours/*.flf /usr/share/figlet/

Don't install the figlet-fonts/toilet directory. You already have those.
