The arrows come from hatari/src/gui-sdl/font5x8.bmp and
font10x16.bmp Arrows from font10x16.bmp are also used
for the SDL scroll-bar.

Maybe the arrows could be re-proportioned to match the
font better. The problem with the up/down arrows are that
the button is taller than the right/left arrow button.
