I don't know if this will help you, but I measured my monitor in millimeters, 
and entered them into the file XF86Config-4 as

Section "Monitor"
    ...
   DisplaySize     300 200

All the fonts, everywhere, got totally better. The system no longer assumed I 
had some impossibly small or large DPI setting, or something.

I suppose those whose Linux Distro's install programs probed their monitors 
correctly may have entered these settings correctly, or something, so they 
never saw the insect you did.
