"custom-minimap-titles":
  font: "Small"

All the available fonts can be found at http://patorjk.com/software/taag

Select some text to convert something like this:

hello world

into something like this:

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

you can also Toggle Comment Borders to put a border around the text to add more distinction in the minimap:

****************************************************************************************************
##     ## ######## ##       ##        #######     ##      ##  #######  ########  ##       ########
##     ## ##       ##       ##       ##     ##    ##  ##  ## ##     ## ##     ## ##       ##     ##
##     ## ##       ##       ##       ##     ##    ##  ##  ## ##     ## ##     ## ##       ##     ##
######### ######   ##       ##       ##     ##    ##  ##  ## ##     ## ########  ##       ##     ##
##     ## ##       ##       ##       ##     ##    ##  ##  ## ##     ## ##   ##   ##       ##     ##
##     ## ##       ##       ##       ##     ##    ##  ##  ## ##     ## ##    ##  ##       ##     ##
##     ## ######## ######## ########  #######      ###  ###   #######  ##     ## ######## ########

Note that Toggle Comment Borders determines border size based on your editors preferred line length.

The difference is slight and completely based on user preference:
