@HG: maybe a same letter could support 2 pieces that share a lot in common and that are unlikely used in the same variant?

The letters are used to request a piece for inclusion in a variant that Jocly doesn't know yet, when you are implementing that variant. Jocly is not psychic, so if Lion and Leopard would both be L, and you ask it to put an L on the board, it would not know what to give you. Even if it could read your mind to know you were trying to implement Metamachy, it would still not know which of the two to include, as it wouldn't know the rules of Metamachy (or there would be no need to implement it).

Current assignment is A=BN, B=B, C=C, D=RF, E=FA, G=[F?R], H=BW, K=K, L=KNAD, M=RN, O=WAD, P=Pawn, Q=Q, R=R, S=fW, T=QN, U=[W?B], V=mBcpB, W=FC, X=mRcpR, Z=Z.

Last point, have you seen my message on the png icon for the Badger?

Ah no, I missed that. Apparently the default color blue for Alfaerie is not set correctly in fen2.php. I now rendered it again explicitly requesting the correct color, and uploaded that. Getting to see it might be hard for you, though: the old one would have to be flushed both from your browser cache and from the CloudFlare cache. The latter you can force by suffixing with ?nocache=true (in an ID as part of the graphicsType).

50x50 and 35x35 are the standard sizes of the Alfaerie sets on CVP, so I rendered it at those sizes to include it in those set. And 249,249,249 is the standard filling for Alfaerie white pieces. I don't know why you would want to use a deviating color.
