Bug Description
I have Gutsy with the latest updates at this date, on x86_64, with MythTV, which means I am practically running Mythbuntu, I have the GDM theme, usplash, etc...
It is connected to an HDTV using DVI/HDMI and is running at 1920x1080.
I am currently using an NVIDIA card using the Ubuntu nvidia-glx. The problem existed as well when using an Intel GPU in the same machine (2.0 and 2.1.1 drivers).
The display is set hard to 100dpi in xorg.
All the normal theme stuff (menus, EPG, etc...) is displaying great.
BUT -- All the OSD, when watching 16:9 TV programming, has fonts rendered badly, with weird aspect ratios and overlaps. This is for the OSD menu, the program information, the volume setting, position, etc...
I tried many different OSD themes with the same results.
I made a few snapshots of how it looks like. They are available here:

Fonts are rendered properly when watching 4:3 programming.
Any info/dumps/
