And does this work for you? Or do you still have issues with fonts?
FYI, one "reason" you might have to do this is because you have a high
resolution display, and if X can read the actual dimensions of your
display, it will calculate the horizontal and vertical DPI. I'm not
sure what combinations of kernel and X.org configuration options are
required for this though. You can also get the same effect from setting
"DisplaySize" in xorg.conf.
In any case, you can check the DPI that X is using, and how it arrived
at that value, by checking /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
