Oh, thank you! I did stumble on that thread during my search, but the link didn't work, and everything they said about doing it manually was just gibberish to me. I downloaded the zip file you provided and gave the hack a try. The portraits are indeed gone. Played it up to the end of the Ship Graveyard as a test, and everything seems to be in working order. There's a bit of blank space on the left side of the dialogue boxes where the portraits would go however. Not really a problem, it just looks a bit odd. If there's no (easy) way to fix it, I think I can live with it.
On another note, there's actually two ips files in the zip folder you gave me though. Do you happen to know what the other one, the one that's just called "ff5", does?
