OK.

Meanwhile I could need some more chars.

      _    __   __   __   __   __   __   _ _   _   ___   __   _
     / \  | _) / _| |  \ | _| | _| / _| | | | | | [_  ] | _/ | |
    /_\_\ |__) \__| |__/ |__| |_-' \__/ |_|_| |_|  J_|  |__\ |__]
     _  _   __ _   ___   __   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   _ _
    | \/ | |  \ | | . | | _) | . | | . ) ( __| |_ _| | | | | \ |
    |_\/_| |_\__| |___| |_|  |___\ |_|_\ |___)  |_|  |___|  \_/
     _ _ _   _ _    _ _   ___     _   ___   __   __   ___    _
    | \ \ | \ \ /  \ \ / |__ /   [ | [_, ) |_ ) /. | |  _|  / /
     \_\_/  /_\_\   |_|   /___]  |_| /___] |__) -|_| |___) (__)
     ___   __    __    _    _    _    _                 _   _
    |_  | (  )  (  )  / \  |_|  / /  \ \        [] []  / / \ \
     /_/  (__)  /_/   \_/  [_]  \_\  /_/  [] /] [] /] /_/   \_\


ABCDEFGHIJ
KLMNOPQRST
UVWXYZ
0123456789
!<>.,:;/\

Have already been done.

abcdefghij
klmnopqrst
uvwxyz

Uses the CAPITAL chars as a replacement

"#$%&'
()*+-
=?@
[]^_�{|}~

Are needed for a complete ascii set.

��� and it's captial ��� and �

They look like aou / AOU with two dots ( � ) over them
� looks a bit like an odd shaped B

Are required for the german language
��� / ��� are required for the dansish language.
Combine chars from the two and you have a complete swedish set.

� = a+e overlapping
o = o with a / (slash) through it
� = a with a little ring over it

I suggest something like:

  ___    ___   [][]  /\             /             _
 [___]  [___]                            _((     | |    ))_
 [___]                  _______           ((     |_|    ))

    _
   ' )
    .

(it's damn hard making a 3 letter high figlet font)

I understand that not all chars can be made with a decent result .. try the best
you can.

My attempts at ��� :

  _ __      ___       o
 / | _|    | _/|     / \
/_\|__|    |/__|    /_\_\


Only � IMO was really succesful .. the � look like an � but does'nt really keep
the style of the rest of the font.
The � does keep the style but it's hard to tell what it is.

I suggest the 0 in the original font is replaced with the � look :

 ___
| _/|
|/__|

instead of
 _
/ \
\_/

The O is remade like this:

 ___
| _ |
|___|


likewise that all the chars with . in them have . replaced with either , or _

 __
/_ |
-|_|

 ___   ___
| _ | | _ )
|__/\ |_|_\

or :

 __
/, |
-|_|

 ___   ___
| , | | , )
|__/\ |_|_\

( i really like this R )

and that U be rediddled :
 _ _
| | |
|___|



P.S as I am constructing the figlet font from the ascii-images i ultimately have
the final word in deciding what diddle looks the best ;)
