[mythtv-users] Fonts too fat under SuSE 9.2

[P Milazzo]

My fonts seem to be too fat. The glyphs appear to match the family and 
face specified in the theme (currently set to "Titivillus", but I've 
also tried others), but are too wide for the boxes into which they are 
being drawn.

I'm running the latest CVS MythTV sources on my Athlon 64 SuSE 9.2 
system with the 2.6.11.7 kernel. I'm using the stock X.Org 6.8.1 server 
with the nVidia 1.0-7174 driver on a GeForce FX 5200, and I have 
Freetype2-devel 2.1.9-3.

I've tweaked the display dimensions to give resolutions of both 100x100 
and 75x75 DPI; the latter yields smaller glyphs but similarly 
disproportionate metrics.

The archives describe a similar-sounding problem, but the posted 
solution is specific to FC3 packages and thus not directly applicable to 
my SuSE 9.2 installation. Any other suggestions for putting my fonts on 
a diet?

    Thanks!
