Thanks for all the help, but what seemed to do the trick was installing the arial font family from the MS True Type fonts. I find this a little odd, since I changed all the arial settings, but it did the trick. Out /of pure curiousity, is there any reason not to run 640x400 on a standard tv? I was having some problems watching sports, and I removed the refresh rates from my xorg.conf and the display defaulted to 640x400. The problems are gone, and the picture seems even sharper. Maybe its just me.
BTW I did adjust the flicker control in the nvidia-settings tool. This helped a little, but during football games there were still noticable "lines". I also followed Jarrod's tip about turning on the setting in myth for the vert refresh rate. Niether totally solved the problem. -- Jonathan Martin www.niblet.us > I have posted this here before (my XFree86-4)... > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Section "Monitor" > Identifier "TVOut" > HorizSync 30-50 > # HorizSync 31.5 > VertRefresh 60 > Option "DPMS" "0" > > # Little Text > # DisplaySize 400 300 > # DisplaySize 360 270 > # DisplaySize 320 240 > # DisplaySize 280 210 > # DisplaySize 240 180 > DisplaySize 200 150 > # DisplaySize 160 120 > # DisplaySize 120 90 > # DisplaySize 80 60 > # DisplaySize 40 30 > # Big Text > > EndSection > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > > Does choosing somethinge like 400x300 not make your fonts tiny? > > ToddD > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Alan Anderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, August 19, 2005 2:56 PM > Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] Font Size too Big > > >> Hi, >> >> I had the same issue with fonts being clipped and lines not being word >> wrapped.
