Those are basically only for the settings screens.

If you're not using version 0.21, DPI /must/ be 100x100.  So, upgrade 
Myth to version 0.21 (recommended) or set your X config such that DPI is 
100x100 (which may still be a good thing so that other apps--such as 
xterm and Firefox and ...--all look good, too).

Because the DPI on that system is closer to 100x100.
