Oh, that seems a little big :-o
As you seem to be using GNOME 2, you can change DPI value from
background/apperance settings → tipography → details. I have set here a
value of 96 DPI though my nvidia card still "thinks" this value is smaller:
sm01@stt008:~$ xdpyinfo | grep -i resol
resolution: 85x86 dots per inch
sm01@stt008:~$ grep -i edid /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (85, 86); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config
