|     Hello everyone. I'm assuming that making a FigWin font is the same as
|making a dos figlet font, but is there a template file I can get somewhere that
|I can use? Or can I just delete everything but the first twelve lines or so of
|a font that already exists and put in my own ascii letters? Is there any
|documentation on how to make a figlet font? Thanks.

From the same place as FigWin comes from there is also a font editor for
windows, which should ease the creation of fonts... bit buggy tho'...
