OK, that turns out to be the definitive Figlet site...I do not know
why it is not listed in the Figlet section of the Ascii Art FAQ?

I got the latest Figlet 2.2 version from there and the 76kb
"figfont.txt" file is awesome in amount of detailed information it
contains...far more than the manual itself.

I also got the Contributed Fonts and there is a 3.3 Mb file ( the
mind boggles as to contents) of International Fonts which I did not
download.


Also there is a link to the official figlet site at Ian Chai's
homepage which endorses the archive at ftp.internexus.net:

Who do I get FIGlet from?

   Laszlo Vecsey has been kind enough to provide space on his FTP
   server, ftp://ftp.internexus.net/pub/figlet/.

   o UNIX (source code) and associated utilities
   o MS-DOS
   o Macintosh FIGlet for MacOS page
   o Amiga
   o Apple II GS - GNO
   o Atari ST
   o Acorn
   o OS/2 (FIGshell, a GUI-based shell for FIGlet for OS/2)
   o NeXTstep
   o Microsoft Windows ( FIGWin, a re-implementation of FIGlet with a
   GUI)

   Many fonts are also available:
   o Standard distribution
   o Contributed fonts
   o International fonts
   o MS-DOS specific fonts
   o Browse available fonts

   WUARCHIVE has a mirror of FIGlet at
   ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/graphics/graphics/misc/figlet

So having now seen the complete EFTIWALL.FLF font and the
explanatory text file I have a better idea of how it works although
its use is obviously limited. You have to type in a character to
select a particular picture so you need the complete reference
chart:
