Thanks for your reply, Mike. My apologies if it seemed as though I ignored 
your earlier response. I did take a look at those links you supplied but 
was--wrong-headedly, I now understand--resisting the notion that the issue 
I was experiencing had to do with dpi. I've now followed your advice, 
augmented by information from one of the links you supplied, and overridden 
the dpi setting. And sure enough, the clock in the upper right hand corner 
of the program guide now appears in a normal font that is legible from 
across the room. I assume other areas where the tiny font issue was in 
play will now behave properly. Many thanks to both of you for your input.
