Have you tried changing your dpi in X?
Not sure but I'm guessing you are running X with a dpi that
is not close to 100x100 dpi for your display. All MythTV
screens are designed to look good at 100x100 dpi on a TV
viewing from a normal viewing distance I forget what exactly. At
least the 4:3 screens are not sure about the 16:9 ones.
You can find out what your dpi is by running:
> xdpyinfo | grep "dots per inch"
One way to correct it is to add/edit the "DisplaySize" line in the Monitor
section of the xorg.conf file. Mine looks like this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "TV"
DisplaySize 203 152 # mm
.
.
.
EndSection
I use a resolution of 800x600 and get good sized fonts on a 32" TV
with that DisplaySize.
