Do you mean that you can't visualise what this question is trying to 
achieve?  If so try the banner utility that may exist on your Linux.  It 
is an old Unix utility.  here is an example of one implementation, the 
only actual output that I found on google.

Although I haven't seen this version of only creating the outline, ones 
I have seen either used all #s to create a solid letter, or used the 
letter itself like this

######
#
###
#
#

FFFFFF
F
FFF
F
F

Hope this helps.  If this is not your problem please ask another question.
