You can try the DisplaySize Option to your Monitor section that is 
supposed to be the size in millimeters of your display.  I think that's 
what made my fonts look good.

It's like this:

DisplaySize 356 204

  Play with different sizes if it doesn't look good with the actual size 
of the tv.  There's also obviously the font setting inside mythtv's 
settings to adjust.
