POI text doesn't look good on Fire TV #69

What were you trying to do... Using the screensaver to play videos with POI text enabled

And what actually happened (ie. describe the bug)... Everything works fine but the point-of-interest text looks a little rough or jaggy compared to other Android TV devices

What kind of device do you have? (eg. Nvidia Shield, Sony TV, etc)... Amazon Fire TV

There seems to be a rendering difference or issue on a Fire TV rendering text at a certain size and width. This issue doesn't appear on other Android TV devices.

The fix is to make the text on the Fire TV use a different weight (thin instead of light) or use a larger size.

I haven't been able to test or confirm the issue on the 4K devices but my guess is that it'll be the same.

The fix will be in v1.3.2.
