OK - I think I've worked out where the problem is. Broadly speaking,
we're trying to do the 'right' thing in the teletext code by getting
the font stretch correct but we actually need to just let the font
stretch horizontally so that it fills the area available to it. The
effect is then exacerbated on wide screen displays.

I'll create a ticket and see if I can come up with a fix.
