Yep.  Should have said that outright.  Sorry.

But, that means it's installed right.  So you're probably being bitten
by a known (but unidentified) issue (that's either an issue with your
configuration, your system libraries, your video drivers, or the font
itself--we still haven't identified it, but it doesn't seem to be a bug
in Myth).

See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/295279#295279 and
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/294597#294597 (the
link referenced within the previous link).

If you give me a link to a picture of the screen, I can tell you for
sure whether that's the problem.  Or, you can follow the instructions in
the above posts and, if it fixes the symptom (ugly OSD fonts), it was
the problem.
