Henry Segerman asked the same question recently.

A complete Figlet Font has all of the following characters in that
exact order = 102 total. Many font designers seem to do Capitals
and Numerals and then give up on the remainder.

At present your ejm2line has Groups 3, 5 and some items from Groups
2, 4 and 6 = 46 characters in total.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

  From the Figlet Manual...

  " The Font Data
      The font data begins on the next line after  the  comments
      and continues to the end of the file.

      The characters from ` ' to `~' are given in standard ASCII
      order, followed by the extra German characters: umlauted
      `A', `O', `U', `a', `o' and `u' and s-z. "


Group 1    is $$ for SP (space character)
           i.e. 8 rows of spaces 1 column wide.

Group 2    ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , . /

Group 3    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Group 4    : ; < = > ? @

Group 5    ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Group 6    [ \ ]  ^ _ `

Group 7   abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Group 8   { | } ~

Group 9    �  �  �  �  �  � sz

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's what those extra German characters of Group9 look like in the
Figlet Font standard.flf:
