[mythtv-users] Font issues (XBox frontend)

[Jeff Coffler]

I'm a new MythTV user, so please excuse any stupid mistakes ...

I have a backend/frontend MythTV installation.  The backend has a Hauppauge PVR-500, and recordings (so far) work great.

The front end is an XBox run Xebian.  Both are running Myth 0.19.  I have verified that the Xbox X11 stuff is running at 100x100 DPI.

I have what appears to be font issues on the MythTV frontend.  Problems that I see:

1) Some of the "Next" / "Cancel" buttons either appear off the bottom of the screen, or I can barely see the edge of the button,

2) When viewing recorded shows, I see truncation in descriptions.  For example, if I go to the Scheduled Recordings page, I see (for program details):

"S...        All        Channel Record +0 Will Record"

Why the "S..." (rather than the full date)?

If I set the font size to "small" via TV Settings->Appearence, then it's WAY too small to be seen on a TV.  If I go in and set font sizes manually for QT, these do not appear to have any effect.

3) I just went to view "Dateline" for test purposes.  I see:

    Dateline NBC
    To Catch a Predator
    Airdate: Wed May 10, 9:00 PM - 10:00 PM
    Channel: KING
    Descr...

(no description appears, even though there's plenty of room for one)

-----

In case it's relevant, the backend was built from source, and is running Fedora Core5.  The frontend (the XBox) was installed via apt-get, following the "MythTV on Xebian HOW TO".

Thanks for any suggestions or advice,
