My plasma monitor (by Panasonic) has a vga input (as well as component,
svideo, and composite), so that's what I am using.  I guess I should have
had the tv on when I took that picture.  But the fonts are just fine,
actually they're great.  For a little while I was using svideo and the fonts
looked OK on that, too.
