<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Yep. Should have said that outright. Sorry.<br>
<br>
But, that means it's installed right. So you're probably being bitten<br>
by a known (but unidentified) issue (that's either an issue with your<br>
configuration, your system libraries, your video drivers, or the font<br>
itself--we still haven't identified it, but it doesn't seem to be a bug<br>
in Myth).<br>

If you give me a link to a picture of the screen, I can tell you for<br>
sure whether that's the problem. Or, you can follow the instructions in<br>
the above posts and, if it fixes the symptom (ugly OSD fonts), it was<br>
the problem.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

One point is that I'm just using 4:3 SD, not 16:9 HD as mentioned in those posts.<br>
<br>
I did comment out the fonts from osd.xml, and of course it works fine with the
default fonts.<br>
<br>
I then went to try your experiment of copying the font files to ~/.mythtv and
changing the OSD font, however the fonts I copied do not show in the list, only
FreeSans.ttf, FreeSansBold.ttf and FreeMono.ttf.<br>
<br>
I did get screenshots of what it looks like (with the unmodified osd.xml of
course) ...<br>
