[mythtv-users] Theme problems upgrading to 0.22

   It was a *little* odd, but I didn't investigate fully;  the issue I had 
was caused by reverting to the original d/b by using the automated backup 
made by mythtvsetup.

   A quick look at the file I used showed that it did have the extra 
default_authority schema info., which shouldn't have been there in the 0.21 
data, so it was as if it backed up not what I started with, but something 
halfway through the backup.

   A full wipe of the mythconverg tables and a restore from my manual backup 
got me trying again.

   That said, I didn't double check that I really was using the first 
automated backup:  I ended up with several, some from mythtvsetup and some 
from mythfrontend as it tried to deal with the music/video d/b problems.  I 
may well have picked one from in the middle as opposed to the 
chronologically first one.

   <checks>  Nope, the automated backups all have multiple default_authority 
fields in tables, where my 0.21 d/b only has one, so I don't know what the 
deal is with them.  I'll need to remember to always use my own backup I guess.

   Yes, I will make sure I start using this.

   Ah, OK, that makes sense.  Quitting was the one thing I wasn't trying.


> Solution to the problem:  get rid of all your 0.21-fixes garbage.

   Yes, I'll make sure and move them all out of the way next time I give it 
a bash!



   All of which only really leaves the font/config question:  why might 
Terra have been showing fonts at dodgy sizes?  And now I think about *that*, 
I do recall still seeing the font-size settings in the config. menus, and I 
*know* I've fiddled with those.  What are the default settings for those?
