[mythtv-users] mythtv-setup over VNC with minimal setup has tiny text problem

Hi,

I am setting up a minimal mythtv backend to run my HD Home Runner from, but
I am running into an issue with using mythtv-setup.  I have the minimal
packages needed to install the mythtv-backend and I am using RealVNC for the
temporary windowing system to run mythtv-setup, but the text (font?) is too
tiny to read: (screenshot)

I have this same setup running on another system that I setup a few months
ago, so I know this can be done, but I cannot quite figure out what I have
done differently this time.

I am using basic TWM for the windows manager (KDE and Gnome are not
installed).


I think it is just a simple missing font package, but I cannot figure out
which one it might be.

The basic fonts appear to be working for TWM and Xterm:

I am getting my MythTV build from ATrpms.

# uname -a
  Linux hdtivo 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 #1 SMP Thu May 13 13:09:10 EDT 2010 i686
athlon i386 GNU/Linux
# cat /etc/issue
  CentOS release 5.5 (Final)



Suggestions?
