Can I adjust the position of text in the screen?

(1/1)

Psychotronics:
I'm using the iClassic theme on my 7th gen iPod video. I had to change the font to Roboto in order to display cyrillic and Japanese characters, but now I'm running into a slightly annoying issue: there's very little space between the first letter and the left edge of the screen, which feels kinda squished to me. What is the easiest way of fixing this issue? Should I make a custom font with Roboto adding more space before capital letters or is there another way to adjust the existing font file?

Frankenpod:
Would be far better to edit the theme, rather than meddle with the font.  Basically you need to change the viewport used by the menus to start with an X co-ordinate a bit larger than 0 (5 maybe...depending how much space you want to leave at the left side).

Right now I've forgotten everything I used to know about themes, and am not in a position to test it right now, but on first glance I _think_ (IIRC) it's the line
%Vi(-,0,19,160,221,1)%Vf(000000)%Vb(FFFFFF)
in the sbs file you need to change, maybe to
%Vi(-,4,19,156,221,1)%Vf(000000)%Vb(FFFFFF).

There might be more things that need to be amended than that, without trying it out I'm not sure, as everything about writing themes has disappeared from my brain, but it's definitely the theme you'd need to amend, not the font.

Psychotronics:
That did it! Thank you so much, looks much better.
