The library now contains 263 fonts. They can be used with JavE
(http://www.jave.de) or any other FIGdriver out there that is compliant
to the FIGfont Version 2 FIGfont and FIGdriver Standard
(http://www.jave.de/figlet/figfont.txt).

Have fun,
Markus

P.S.: Of course the library will be part of the upcoming 6.0 release of
JavE (http://www.jave.de/developer/index.html). Stay tuned!

Looking forward for the release of jave 6 but, Thanks Markus!
Just wondering if it posible to have it like in jave 5 when you looking for the source image , have also the choice to view as thumbnails ?

In Jave6 the open image dialogue box doesnt 
have a drop down for view as (list, tiles, thumbnails, icons, details),
instead it only has icons just for list and details

ok, I see. This is something with the Java Runtime... I will have a look
at it.

Ok, the problem is that Java has a file chooser of its own (the Swing
JFileChooser). This one is different from the native one, the operating
system provides.

Besides the fact that the Java file chooser has less features, it also
has performance problems on some systems. So as workaround I decided to
add an advanced option the JavE's preferences. It is available in this
integration build:
   http://www.jave.de/developer/jave_6.0_i20080525.zip

Choose the menu item "View" > "Preferences" and in "Advanced" select the
option "Use native file chooser dialog.". Then instead of the Java Swing
file chooser, the native file chooser will be used. This has some
consequences:

  - Advantages:
     - much faster
     - same functions and look&feel as in other applications
  - Disadvantages:
     - the filter combobox for file types always shows *.* instead of
       dedicated types actually supported
     - the dialog appears in the top left corner instead of centered to
       the application

Please check it out.

Markus

Thanks Markus! :D
I downloaded the new build and it works great, got the view as thumbnails back!
Thanks again for all your great work!
