I looked for a solution for making the Program Guide fonts larger and didn't turn anything up. This is the solution I came up with.

I use the Blue Theme

Make a copy of /usr/share/mythtv/themes/blue/ui.xml

Edit the original ui.xml changing the font sizes in the groupings that begin <font name> and end </font>

I made a ssh connection using Putty and used Midnight Commander (installed via: apt-get install mc) and was able to make a change to the file, save it (without closing it) and then go into the Program Guide to see how the change looked. I could then make another change to the already-opened file.

After each change you need to back out of the Program Guide and reenter it to see the changes.

The following is a sample of a change I made:

<mythuitheme>

<window name="programguide">

<font name="title" face="Arial">
<color>#ffffff</color>
<dropcolor>#000000</dropcolor>
<size>40</size>
<size:small>20</size:small>
<shadow>3,3</shadow>
<bold>yes</bold>
</font>

Ahhh ... perhaps a better tip would have been to simply change the MetaModes option in the XFConfig-4 file

Option "MetaModes" "800x600, 800x600; 640x480, 640x480;"

This made all the fonts more readable. Prior to the change I had specified 640x480 only and things were too small.

Sorry about the tip that wasn't really a tip. Maybe this will help a newbie.
