A lot of these alphabet sets don't include characters that could be used in other languages.
Things like "ñ" (n with a tidle) are not included in a lot of character sets. Other things like vowels with accent marks and dicritics are also lacking.
When you run figlet with a font like Alligator to print a word like "piñata", it prints out "piata". Even if you use the hexadecimal escape codes it still looks like this.
echo -e "Piñata\n" | figlet -d /home/pi/Downloads/Software/github.com/xero/figlet-fonts -f "Alligator" -k -w $(tput cols)

Fraktur does have "ü" (u with an umlaut), but when you run it through figlet, "über" still looks like "ber"
echo -e "über\n" | figlet -d /home/pi/Downloads/Software/github.com/xero/figlet-fonts -f "Fraktur" -k -w $(tput cols)

Is there something I'm missing has anyone else patched these fonts to include more characters?
