[mythtv-users] Crappy looking fonts when run from autologin/.xinitrc, beautiful fonts when run from KDM/terminal session

[Gregorio Gervasio Jr.]

        (Just some guesses here.)  I believe MythTV uses the Arial
font.  Do you have the MS fonts installed?  Maybe KDE adds the
appropriate font path?  You can compare the result of "xset q" in both
sessions.

        What's your desktop size?  If it's 800x600 or larger, you can
also try running X with "-dpi 100".  I don't know where the right
place to do this would be with autologin but if it's using startx I
guess you could create a .xserverrc which contained:

#!/bin/sh
DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0}
export DISPLAY
exec X -dpi 100 $*

        I've also run into a problem with Qt not using TrueType fonts
(no anti-aliasing) and found out that it had been set up to substitute
Helvetica for Arial.  I fixed this by running "qtconfig".
