| Not sure if this will help, but you could try changing the DPI in your X
| server to a lower or higher value.  That usually fixes small/large font
| issues.
|

| these fixing the small/large font problem for me.
|
| In KDE I can also force the DPI in the Control Centre/Appearance &
| Themes/Fonts tab.  Higher DPI gives larger fonts.

DPI can be set using command line also, by executing:

abbe [~] chateau $ echo Xft.dpi: 100 |xrdb -merge

After this restart your browser for settings to take effect:

To make it permanent, append following to your ~/.Xresources or ~/.Xdefaults:

Xft.dpi: 100

And, BtW what WM are you running ? Xfce, IceWM or ....
