It would be possible, of course, but unfortunately the font is specified by the
Teletext standard and contains many special characters used for graphics etc.
Since now I haven't known about a font that would be better than the one I use.
This is because the REAL problem is the resolution of the OSD, which is
restricted to 440x376 (that means a character has 11x15 pixels, which is not
much on TV screens) with the current OSD memory limit of the driver. There was a
discussion to enlarge this memory a few weeks before, but as OSD is not used at
convergence at all, it seems to be no interest in supporting this for the DVB
driver. The only thing I can do (as long as you won't find a better VTX font) is
to implement some anti-aliasing on the Teletext pages (or generate MPEG pages
for VTX, which is on my wishlist right now, but I didn't find a suitable
solution to implement that yet).

No problem at all, I will put an option to switch channel order on my TODO list
for the next version.
