I started with -wide since that is what the home (and desktop) boxes  
run. Changing MythCenter to match exactly is, I think, impossible due  
to lack of screen space.
You would need to change the pixel sizes of the fonts. These are all  
over the map in default, default-wide, mythcenter and mythcenter-wide.  
I started on attempting that using a 4 pixel step between sizes  
starting with 'smaller' at 18, small 22 to extralarge at 34. It would  
be a large chunk of changes.

Then standard screens could use 'smaller' to push more text into the  
screen space.

I'm still willing if there is any interest in having this done.
