[mythtv-users] OSD fonts badly rendered on a 16:9 TV

[Nicolas Will]

All,

I have good news.

But let's first go through the process I went through.

1. Patch

The new packages with Mario's patch for the specified changeset about
Xinerama's check went through.

No change.

I checked Myth's stuff about Xinerama screens, same choice of 0/All.

So either I have to apologise to Mario for the extra work, or the patch
is the first step for other subsequent settings (Michael? I'm ready to
do further testing for you there)

2. Playing with fonts files

I went first with Michael's b) choice and ended up with:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 mythfront mythfront    51 2007-10-08 07:36 VeraBd.ttf -> /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSansBold.ttf
lrwxrwxrwx  1 mythfront mythfront    30 2007-10-08 07:34 Vera.ttf -> /usr/share/mythtv/FreeSans.ttf

in my fontend user's ~/.mythtv/

And voila !

Nice fonts everywhere.

So, as far as results are concerned, I'm a happy person. Many thanks to
all!

But I am still here ready to play around with things if you want me to
test other stuff.
