The error is not in your eyes or in the font - the format doc is invisible 
because it does not exist (yet) (in this universe). Our documentation is 
sparse.

We are constantly improving it - at a speed considerably less than the 
speed of light.

The low level, the lihata file format itself has good docs, tho: 
http://repo.hu/projects/lihata/

For an fp generator, you probably want to output the element subtree or 
the new subcircuit subtree (once it will have terminals). "Reverse 
engineering" those from existing files should be trivial. I can provide 
examples or you can produce them using pcb-rnd.

Best regards,
