Hm, do you are per chance run xfstt and have TrueTypes chosen? xfstt
doesn't scale TrueTypes.
Switch back to a default font like helvetica, make sure you have the
100-dpi-fonts installed. Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config. Mine looks like this:
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
[asf.]
That ensures that the large fonts are loaded first.
