Besides the list view bugs already file (and other non list view font
bugs as well) you are bringing up a new bug here.

The issue is that in Nautilus we are using pixel sizes to query for
fonts, which is "wrong" (I just read in my XLIB book) because these are
resolution specific.  So to make non 75 dpi displays such as yours (and
mine!) happy, we need to use point sizes and let the x server figure out
the resolution.

I just filed a bug for this, please add your comments there:
