Well, curiosity finally cost me $9.37; about 10 minutes FTP transfer
time; and 38 minutes download time at a modem speed of 14,400 to get
the Figlet font file "1997 international.tar.z".
-rw-r--r-- 1 figlet NEXUS 344190 Dec 9 1997 contributed.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 figlet NEXUS 3681668 Dec 9 1997 international.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 figlet NEXUS 46339 Dec 9 1997 ours.tar.gz
I also checked on "1997 ours.tar.gz" which is a gzipped file of
Fonts by the Figlet originators/authors and contains only Fonts
which are generally available:

The real culprit is the 3677Kb ( 3.68Mb ) file "cjkfonts.tar.gz"
which unpacks to some gigantic Chinese and Japanese Fonts and
Characters listed below:

This is the CJK (Chinese-Japanese-Korean) package for FIGlet 2.2.

Now...how would llizard...or anyone...like to make a Figfont with
24 million bytes? The mind boggles.
For those interested in the SMALL International Fonts listed above,
here they are. They're supposed to read as Testy 123, ntgreek looks
close. :-)
