Oh, nice work.  I wonder if it's something that should be included in upcoming SD images for everyone.

I don't know the answer about the emulationstation font, offhand.  If you find out that answer, please post it.

I do know that you might want to change the in-game text to be more readable.  That's on my todo list to add to an upcoming SD image.  See https://forum.freeplaytech.com/showthread.php?tid=4528

Still looking into it, here is my Pixel configuration for those who are interested. Let me know what you think of it.

UI Settings:

UI MODE: FULL
TRANSITION STYLE: SLIDE
THEME SET: PIXEL
GAMELIST VIEW STYLE: DETAILED
START ON SYSTEM: NONE
ON-SCREEN HELP: ON


sudo nano /etc/emulationstation/themes/pixel/pixel.xml

It's wise to make a backup first.
