It certainly cleared up one big bug.
If you open the Figlet Font Export Assistant (FFEA) .. change your mind , and open it
later the blue adjustment boxes will not show - Thats why it failed so miserably for me
the first time , and I had to edit the file by hand with a text editor without knowning
the format.

How about a F1 help function that open a help page for every window ?
It's greatly needed ..
In any case .. YES the short documentation you just wrote and linked was helpful.
So was the official info you linked too.

The FFEA still have faults  .. fx it asumes that all letters are of equal width and that
the spacing is the same.

It should determine the width of each letter automaticly by searching for the first colum
that only consisted of spaces.
It could also try to determine the height and decent by looking for the common height and
the max height .. max height would be height and decent would be max height - most common
height , since most letters use a common height that is max height - decent.

Using theese informations about width , height and decent it could also determine what was
space between letters and waht was a letter.

It could also try to autodetect what the letter was by looking at width, height and
decent.
An "a" would likely have no decent f.x. and would likely not be as tall as the max height
, and the "a" would likely be followed by a "b" which would use max height but would not
have a decent .. ect ..

"g" "j" "y" would have decent .. "p" and "q" might have in some fonts and not in others

All uppercase letter would likely not use decent but be of max height.

"i" "l" "j" would likely not be of max width but be slim .. "m" and "w" would likely be
very wide.

I bet if you told me only the width, height, decent and the order of a number of letters
that I could determine what they were without ever seeing them.

JavE could be capable of this also.
