Assuming Jim and James are both right, that would put the picture at
31.2 x 23.4 cm (roughly 12.3 x 9.2 inches): a little over 83 DPI at
1024 x 768 pixels. With 'gallant' at 12 pixels wide by 22 pixels high,
and a text area of 80 columns x 34 rows you could have (white?)
borders of 32 pixels down each side, and 10 pixels across top and
bottom. Anyone know if this is what's done by default?

3x5 pixels?! My eyesight isn't quite that good any more :-)
Jim, are you able to adjust the picture size to 12" x 9" (about 30.5 x
22.9 cm)?
