[mythtv-users] Screen size and font issues with new FC4 install

It's the urw-fonts package problem.  It's documented in Jarod's FC4 
How-To.  You need to downgrade your fonts package as instructed there: 
http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php#setupmythtv -- which references 
http://www.users.on.net/~jani/dvico-mythtv-10.html#ss10.1 with download 
and install instructions plus tips on pinning the package in apt-get to 
avoid updating it in the future.  If you use yum you'll need to add an 
exclude for the package in your yum.conf.

According to the RedHat bugzilla report on the problem, the later urw 
packages improved but did not fix the problem, so you still need to do 
the downgrade for myth.  It's not big deal, it's just a font package, so 
it's not like it's going to affect how your system runs.

BTW the QT problem in FC3 was with requiring Ctrl-Enter on the setup 
buttons.  That's been fixed in FC4.
