thanks for this work you're doing!

I'm keeping my local version frozen for a few days due to an upcoming
performance, I'll add it later - or if I can persuade you to do
cvs.... ;)

I didn't realise that the aspect ratio was a factor - doesn't it scale
the text? Whether it actually should do that or not is another matter...
