Absolutely!! Thanks -- that was the track I was headed down. It's nice to
know I was heading in the right direction.

Here's what I'd do
Build a version that is "squashed" for normal screens and use a slightly
squashed font (like Verdana) - then when the 16x9 screen stretches it, it
will look OK
Instead of building it and saying "It'll be stretched, I can live with
that", build it specifically for that screen and say "it's only for this
screen, so I can have it look rubbish on normal screens"
It'll be loads of running back and forth while testing, but it's the end
result which is the most important, right?
