[mythtv-users] Font size in MythFrontend

[Paul Gratz]

Took me alot of searching and trying things to find out but what is
going on is that MythTV scales the font size dependent on what size it
thinks the screen physically is (so it gets a consistent dots per inch).
To change the dpi of the screen you have to set DisplaySize in the xorg
or XF86Config files. I added this line:

       DisplaySize       203   152     # mm

To the Monitor section and it fixed it for me.  Try to get a size that
is approximately the size of your screen.
