What sizes of display (in inches and pixels) are you dealing with?
What looks bad about Gallant?  Because of my nearsightedness, I enjoy
Gallant, but I can see that other people would consider it too big.

Fundamental solutions (as opposed to patches or tweaks) would be:

1) if it's the dimensions in characters that bother you, see how wscons
   finds the screen size in pixels and how it converts that to a number
   of characters, and fix the code if necessary.  Under 1.5 the behavior
   is not obvious -- I get strange margins at certain screen resolutions.
   1.6 may have changed things.
2) Get wscons to allow font loading so people can choose their own fonts.

Unfortunately I haven't looked through wscons enough.  I don't even know
who could explain it.
