Not sure what you mean by " manually focusable Fuji lenses of which I have
only two .......... the 14/2.8 and the 23/1.4. If
only the split image focusing option was available for all Fuji lenses !"
While those two lenses are the only Fuji lenses with a focus scale on the
lens, I have no problem at all using manual focus on the 18/2, 18-55/4 and
55-200/5.6, so long as I have the MCS selector set to M. I can even get a
magnified central section if I press in the rear wheel.
But the digi-rangefinder will not work if you have MCS set to S, as I
understand it.
I can't fathom why MF Assist is greyed out, but I do know why it isn't
included on pages xiv and xv. It's because there is no mention in the main
text itself!

No digi-rangefinder display other than for manually focusable Fuji
lenses of which I have only two .......... the 14/2.8 and the 23/1.4. If
only the split image focusing option was available for all Fuji lenses !
Meanwhile, I am now working out how I can, or if I can, engage the focus
assist feature as well as the manual focus assist features on my X Pro
1. The "MF Assist" feature on the X Pro 1's 5th shooting menu is greyed
out and inoperative. My X Pro 1 owner's manual does not include the MF
Assist feature in the shooting menu index on pages xiv and xv !
