So I’m having a problem where the tab menu is all blurry and can’t read it. Even though My game and text in game look fine. Is this a common an issue? Does any one know how to fix it that can hopefully help me?

You need to change the mame font. Depending on the groovyarcade version you're using it's more or less easy

In not sure what version in running of mame. I guess what ever came with the groovyarcade live CD 2019 running on Lenix. Is there a good tutorial that I can use to change it?

Here is how i fixed this on my machine. I just worked through the same issue -
I'm using winscp, as i'm not a strong linux user.
Download and connect to your machine with WinSCP
I used root, you need to enable this via console first or your might get rights issues -
Root login over ssh can be enabled by the doing following steps,
Login as a root user. use any text editor, here i am using vim editor. (if your using mlocate in linux, you can just search for sshd_config)
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
uncomment the line below line
PermitRootLogin yes
I then rebooted my machine ( you can just restart ssh also)
Now in WinSCP you need to enable hidden files -
Open up Options - Preferences - Panels - Check "Show Hidden Files"
I was missing the fonts file, so i downloaded Groovymame for windows, extracted it to a folder, and copied over the following file from the root to the directory below - uismall.bdf
Now we need to copy the font file over to the Mame Fonts folder -
/home/roms/MAME/fonts
Finally we need to edit the mame.ini
Edit the mame.ini located here -
/home/arcade/.mame
Search for the following line below and add the font type we copied over -
uifont uismall.bdf
Save the mame.ini and thats it!
If you have any issues let me know, this assumes some basic linux/windows knowledge, but you can google all of those parts.
There is probably a MUCH MUCH easier way to do this, but I'm like I mentioned I'm not very strong in Linux, so I cheated with winscp and got it done however I could figure it out.

Hey that's a good answer :)
The groovyarcade fork I'm working on already has the uismall font. But even better : the april release should be much more eye candy regarding the mame menu ;)
