[mythtv-users] Legibility from the sofa

I'm struggling to find a compromise between getting a font size large 
enough to see from the sofa, and not making it so large that we lose 
the end of programme names and can't tell which episode we're choosing.

I'm currently using the mythbuntu widescreen theme.
We have exclusively 1366x768 TVs.
I have made the font sizes 10, 12 and 16 but then done a boost of 30%.
I don't recall what I set DPI to, but can check.

Anyway, whatever I've done it isn't working!

The main problem is the "Watch Videos" screen with the three columns. 
This wastes loads of width, and the text is small no matter what I do.

Help! What can people recommend? What's the best "12 foot" 
configuration?

We quite like the mythbuntu theme, but if we either can't read it, or 
lose the end of programme names, then it will have to change.
