Making a FigWin Font

Making a FigWin Font

     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'...

I got my copy from the FIGlet website I think, which as far as I know is:
     ftp://ftp.internexus.net/pub/figlet/

that was taken from the most up to date version of the FAQ I have on my
HDD.

:) Hope this helps

Thanks anyway, but I didn't find a Figlet program to make figlet fonts there.
