Gerhard,
While the DirecTV signal is on the fritz because of
the pouring rain here, I decided to look into the font
issue myself. I changed the font to Franklin Gothic
Medium, and it looks pretty good. I think that the
program guide actually looks better in Franklin Gothic
than Trebuchet MS, but I suppose that's a personal
preference.
Regardless of the font used, the items in the main
menu are a bit small. Perhaps in exchange for the
smaller text, you can put more items on the screen?
