[mythtv-users] Text quality for mythtv in xorg

I have noticed that the antialiasing does not seem to be working on my myth box.  The black edges around the word "Watch 
TV" are jagged. I have noticed on my other machines that the frontend looks better and those have very old nvidia 
geforce cards (Quadro 2).  Does anyone know what could be wrong here? Is it possible that blackbox does not support 
sharp fonts? or is there a problem with xorg?
