Hi Anthony,
what I found out as the best way to influence the default
fontsize as used on your monitor, is /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, Section
"Monitor", option DisplaySize which defines the actual size of your
monitor in milimeters. Here is mine:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Compaq Armada E-500 LCD"
HorizSync 28-50
VertRefresh 43-75
Option "DPMS"
DisplaySize 287 215
EndSection
(Sorry, small laptop screen ;-) )
Sincerely,
Jan.
