Yes it does. I disabled dri by adding Option "DRI" "off" to my xorg.conf file. mythtv fonts are back! I'm slightly confused though as glxinfo shows "direct rendering: Yes". May be I'm confusing what the dri option actually is.

The other thing to note is that adding this option has also fix another problem I was considering reporting; that scrolling in gnome-terminals and firefox (at least) is very slow. With dri off, both are restored to normal scrolling rates.

The weird thin is, when I installed the fix form your PPA Mario, mythtv fonts worked fine.
