[mythtv-users] Screen size and font issues with new FC4 install

I'm setting up a new frontend and installed FC4 on it. Everything is
fine, I can connect, watch TV, etc. but the setup screens in Myth (I'm
using the MythCenter theme) are too big for the screen. I cannot see
the Back/Next buttons. It basically looks like the spacing between
elements is too much and it is pushing the UI components off the screen
Relevant info:
* My DPI is 100 both by using DisplaySize and by sending "-dpi 100"
to the X server. Using smaller or larger DPI values makes no
difference
* My resolution is 800x600
* If I adjust the font size from 16 to 14 or 12 the setup screens
become more readable but the font is super tiny
* Setting the GUI size in setup only makes Myth take up less space
on the screen, the button placement is still the same relative to
that smaller area
Has anyone seen this or have a suggestion? I've searched the lists and
found some reference to older urw-fonts packages but I'm reluctant to
start installing older packages if there is something simple I have
missed. My previous frontend was RH9 using the same theme and did not
exhibit this behavior.
Thanks,
Kevin
