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

[ffrr]

I have Mandriva, and doing this downgrade had no effect on the problem 
of large fonts not fitting.

rpm -Uvh --force 
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/2/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/urw-fonts-2.1-7.noarch.rpm

Maybe because it is a Fedora rpm? Anyway, the problem remains.

As per my thread about a week or so ago, editing the themes XML to lower 
the font sizes remains my only solution.
