(Get the code!)
My perspective is that for your problem it's better to have fonts that are a little too large, than fonts that are too small ; you only need to be reading the text for long enough to set a displaysize that is correct. Mine is set to the literal size of my TV screen in millimetres as is expected by X. If the DisplaySize is set by default to a size that produces fonts that are either readable, or a little too large, that is better than fonts that you cannot read.
I can't recall now how much text-only UI (if any) the MythBuntu installer contains (a good testament to it's slickness). I alas, had to use a monitor to set up and hand-edit my xorg.conf to gain TV out, because X does not display on the TV by default (but the basic terminal mode does). If there is some text-ui setup, would that be a good place to accept a DisplaySize?
An alternate thought was to set -dpi 100 for setup and configure a DisplaySize, at which point the dpi argument could be removed.
