This set of screens is mostly concerned with how MythTV will look on your system. From here, you can choose different themes and set 
the resolution of your system

I do not think this is a big help to newcomers.
I also went the road of changing fontsizes, instead of setting the resolution to 100dpi. Mine still runs at 75dpi.

This isn't the right way to fix it. What you need to do is make sure that
the X server is running at 100dpi, which is what all of the themes are for.

This has been covered many times, so just check back in the archives
(http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv) for 100 dpi.

(Hint, set DisplaySize in xorg.conf or give -dpi 100 to X server.)

Cheers,

Martin.
