I haven't seen the start of this thread, but I thought I'd comment as
well, based on the subject.

I had a weird problem when I went back to garnome 0.22.0 after using
Debian's unstable packages for a while. I would see really really really
small fonts in menus.

It turned out that it was caused by having GDK_USE_XFT set to 1. As soon
as I set it to 0, my fonts looked fine.
