I don't use Mepo but this kind of truncation looks normal (for Myth) to
me, although it is messy. It would be nice if there was a way for themes
to automatically adjust widths and positions based on the font.
One thing I find helps is to change the date format to 24 hours, as
"15:00" takes up less room that "3:00 pm".
Cheers,
John
