Some additional information: When I set the "Scaling Factor" in gnome-tweak-tool from 1.73 to 1, then all fonts in evolution become small (as expected from my choice of font sizes), except for the font used to display dates in the calendar (which was always small). Interestingly, the relative proportions of the fonts and their spacing in the calendar now look correct.
Thus, it appear that the font used to display dates in evolution calendar is somehow derived from a gnome system font, the font size and text positioning are computed correctly, but when actually rendering the font on the screen the step of applying the font scaling factor is missing.
