Hi,
gnome-font-properties saves parameters on path 
"/desktop/gnome/font_rendering". You can use 'gconf-editor' or 
'gconftool-2' utilities to check/modify parameters.

Your problem is that you dont use DDC (and X cant get the right display 
size) or have incorrect "DisplaySize" entry in "XF86Config".

You can try to pass "-dpi N" parameter to server, you can do this with 
smth like this: 'startx -- -dpi 75' or defining alias 'alias 
startx='startx -- -dpi 75''.
