There should be a config file for xfs somewhere. In Debian it is located in /etc/X11/fs so I would assume something similar in Redhat. The name of the file, at least for me, is config.
Within the config file, you should find a catalogue. Change the order of the 100dpi and 75dpi fonts. In other words, put the 75 dpi fonts ahead of the 100dpi. Do the same for the default-resolution. You might also want to consider simply using the font server within X. Because on many distributions (I'm really not sure about Redhat, but I would hope it would), X receives a negative nice value. Since, usually, xfs isn't negatively niced, font performance seems to be a little skippier from X itself. If you take this approach, change the FontPath entries so that 75dpi (scaled and unscaled) are ahead of the 100dpi fonts. Also, comment out the FontPath with "unix/:port". These changes are both in the XF86Config(-4) file. Hope that helps.
