- at most one system
- the image will be condensed to 600 pixels or so (I can't
  remember the exact number), so I'd recommend 2-4 bars.  It's
  kind-of up to you -- the more horizontal material you have,
  the smaller the resulting font size will be.
- you can use whatever tweaks, ugly input files, etc. as you want.

Please send the example to Jonathan.
