Dear Kostas,

I understand that something has to be done, but I have not yet a precise idea
on what I should do about it: the font sizes have to be compatible with
the icon sizes and the design of nice looking icons is very sensitive to
the size of the icon; just rescaling is not an option, but we might provide
the icons at a few standard sizes (e.g. 16/24/32, 20/30/40, 24/36/48).
So if someone wants to write the necessary scripts to generate the icons
from the svg versions and test a but with various sizes...

Best wishes, --Joris
