overlapping fonts

[Eazy189]

hi

everything for me with gbpvr is running good now i just have one small nagging problem

The fonts in the EPG seem to overlap eachother and while i can still easily see channel numbers and shows the date time and channel name get overlapped and or only half visible

it does this with every skin i try i managed to edit some font sizes in the countour skin but it only seems to change menu button fonts

i would like to make the EPG fonts smaller and also the recorded shows info box fonts smaller so i can see the whole name of the show also if i could th einfo box fonts while its playing so i can see the whole description

anyway ive been recording shows daily off my bell expressvu by just setting the STB to tune and Gbpvr to record at the same time for like a week now and it works like a rock this is some truly awesome software ...i had more problems with beyond tv and i was about to buy it ..

im not a rich man but i will for surely be making a donation

Thanks


Edit

oh yeah im displaying it on a 1080i hdtv at 1696x956(16x9)resolution
i have large fonts set in windows and the dpi is at 125%
i dont think windows fonts should affect the gbpvr fonts though would it?

dang

i cant read anything in windows on my tv without the fonts on large

is it the font size or more specifically the dpi settings?

its nothing like that its just you need a higher dpi and font setting to be able to see the text in windows from ten feet away on a big screen if i was up close id be able to read it

anyway ive tested it out and the dpi settings indeed alter the size of certain text in gbpvr i just have to find the right balance between windows and gbpvr

you can still have large fonts,just don't use the 'large fonts' setting nor change DPI...
just go into the display property settings and go to 'appearance' and then hit 'advanced' button and you can set a lot of the font settings there...

or an easier way is to lower your video resolution
anything over 720x480 is bigger than your video so is kinda a waste.
my video card [ati] lets you select 720x480 for resolution and it looks great on tv.. [but i wouldn't wanna browse the web at that resolution]
so i just set my tv res to 720x480 and leave my desktop monitor at 1024x768
there's all kinds of ways to alter the font size,but changing dpi almost never a good thing...[some programs won't display correctly at any other DPI setting]
