Well if you get the Figlet package via the official website you will 
find that the package contains the progams figlet.exe; chkfont.exe;
a big selection of Fonts and the file figfont.txt that tells just 
about everything you need to know about figlet fonts and how to make 
them.

The official FIGlet web page: 

     http://st-www.cs.uiuc.edu/~chai/figlet.html

Armed with that package you will be able to use "Your Very Own Figfont"
