It's in my plans to provide one or two additional piece sets in Chess Tiger for
Palm anyway.
I will probably have a look at the standard fonts (the ones used in newspaper

possible to get a good result with automatic bitmap resizing when the target is
13x13 bitmaps.
You have to do it by hand (and it is very time consuming).
