I will, when I feel I have better-quality art that's ready -- see below.

Now I have. I had come across it before, but, when the idea occurred to me
to do a FIGlet font, I didn't remember JavE. Now I wish I had. Render some
text as a GIF (even good old Paint is up to this) and use JavE's GIF-to-text
converter. Brilliant. It's a bit inconvenient to get the FIGcharacter
lined up on character boundaries the way I'd like (e.g. it might be impossible
to pick a magnification which renders a vertical line as MM rather than
,MI or something), but it helps.

My *next* FIGlet font will be a bit better than that first effort.

And u-umlaut too, no doubt.
