Thank you! :)  I am sometimes still a bit surprised by how hooked I've
become on tabletweaving.  Well, there are worse things to get addicted to...

Yes, and I'm eagerly awaiting it!

I haven't had time yet to weave complete alphabets; so far I've only managed
the capital 'A's.  I've just added scans of them (not particularly good
ones, I'm afraid) to my website.
The fonts are for double-faced weave; at present the assumption is that all
cards are S-threaded.  I plan to allow for configuration of either all-S,
all-Z, or alternate S/Z at some stage, but that's still some way in the
future.
The pattern file uses Forward/Back indicators mainly because that's how I
think about double-faced weave.  There are some internal coding reasons as
well, but they're not really significant.  I did debate with myself for a
while whether the file should use the structure I've got now, or whether it
would be better to have a block diagram.  In the end it was pretty much a
toss-up...
