Probably because you don't have "Arial Narrow" installed on the Linux machine 
(welcome to font-hell, as in Hellvetica ;o) ), so X will substitute according 
to a ruleset (which you can specify), and often doesn't do a good job.
And even if you have Arial Narrow, you still won't get exactly the same 
result.

In this context, I would like to mention that specify font size in 'points' 
(pt) is a bit odd, as the server hardly knows what kind of display its output 
is going to... Fontsize in pixel would be more appropriate.

In your case, how does X vs Windows derive how many points/pixel? I don't 
know, but I think the answer could be related to your problems.
