Hello guys! )
I use figlet to export text as file.nfo:

[dragonserw@fedora ~]$ figlet DragonSerW | tee -a ./DragonSerW.nfo
 ____                              ____          __        __
|  _ \ _ __ __ _  __ _  ___  _ __ / ___|  ___ _ _\ \      / /
| | | | '__/ _` |/ _` |/ _ \| '_ \\___ \ / _ \ '__\ \ /\ / / 
| |_| | | | (_| | (_| | (_) | | | |___) |  __/ |   \ V  V /  
|____/|_|  \__,_|\__, |\___/|_| |_|____/ \___|_|    \_/\_/   
                 |___/                                       
[dragonserw@fedora ~]$

My question is:
I need that formatted text as output file.svg or file.pdf.
Can asciinema do such thing? ;-))
For now I save bash output to file.md and then I print it with Document Viewer (to .pdf and to .svg).

Hey! asciinema doesn't produce .md nor .pdf files as it's primary use case is animated output. Checkout pandoc, there may be simple way to convert any text file (or output) into PDF with it.
