Comment 16 for bug 136533

Update:
19:55 < Chutt> sphery, that xinerama fix has absolutely no chance whatsoever to fix any osd font rendering problems.
20:43 < sphery> Chutt: I don't think that patch will fix a font rendering problem, per se, but I think it will (help) fix his
                invalid configuration. If Myth thinks his aspect ratio is different from reality, the values it's using for
                multipliers and scaling are wrong and--it seems to me--could result in exactly the issue he's having: overlapping
                characters.
20:43 < sphery> He has screenshots at http://www.youplala.net/~will/htpc/bad_fonts/

21:33 < Chutt> sphery, it'll only fix the entire video displaying at the wrong aspect ratio.
21:35 < sphery> Ok. I'll drop it, then.
21:35 < Chutt> that's the only thing that particular set of calculations is used for :p
21:49 < janneg> sphery: the problem is font specific. I see it here with Gray-OSD for example
21:50 < janneg> if I comment the filename element in the font section and changing the font from DejaVu* to Free* it's fine

Nico, please WAIT before messing with the OSD XML file. I'd like to see if the next package upload fixes your problem..
