[mythtv] [mythtv-commits] Ticket #4044: OSD fonts badly rendered on a 16:9 HDTV

[mythtv at longhome.co.uk]

This used to happen to me, a LOT, and I couldn't get rid of it. I recently
upgraded back up to SVN head, and switched to the blootube OSD and now it
all looks great again.

i reported exactly the same problem (see #667).
i was told it was my fault.
i spent about a week trying to fix it with X server upgrades and config 
changes.
i could not fix it - so have learnt to live with it.

for me it happens on at least two different frontends - an AMD64 desktop 
machine with a 20" display and my laptop.
one uses NVidia and the other ATI.

so i don't know where to go from here.

so a rather longwinded me too!
