This was not the case before these new packages, at least according to the KDE
KInfocenter X-Server section. It always showed 100x100 dpi previously, now it
shows 75x75 dpi. I haven't done the updates on my desktop machine, which
clones my laptop install, and it still shows 100x100 dpi. Both machines are
using startx instead of a login manager. Adding the -dpi switch to the startx
command also has no effect.

xdpyinfo output is attached.
The 100 dpi fonts precede the 75 dpi fonts in the xorg.conf:
Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi"
# path to defoma fonts
FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
EndSection
Once again, my apologies about the original address typo, I didn't realize the
typo'd message had even gone out.
