And so they were, but just to make sure, I updated them and restarted my 
server. No change.

The Titivillus theme uses mostly Trebuchet MS, with a little Arial here 
and there. The fonts I see in the mythfrontend display are unmistakably 
Trebuchet and Arial, so it isn't substituting something else. They're 
just too big.

I think I'll try changing the fonts to something more svelte and see 
whether I can squeeze in a bit more text without sacrificing too much 
readability. In the meantime, thanks for your help!
