How?
I find similar behaviour "reversed". That is I set the DPI
in xorg.conf but eg. Mozilla requires special care. Once I
add the correct
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "LCD"
Option "DPMS"
DisplaySize 282 224
HorizSync 30-115
VertRefresh 43-180
EndSection
(Note the DisplaySize line) mozilla renders all fonts in ant
2 point. Maybe you set the DPI via some fancy GUI that does
not do the same as the above? I'd say scid shold respect the
above but will most likely not care about gnome or kde
settings.

You can have a userspace font config in your .font.conf plus
additional fonts in .fonts and caching information in
.fontconfig. (Frankly, font config in X is a bit a mess...
One can have a lot of fun to get a decent setup.)
It should be safe to delete the latter, it could well help
to remove the .font.conf if you have one. .fonts should
however contain only additional fonts plus some config files
you can recrate using
cd $HOME/.fonts
ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale
mkfontdir

I would suspect that your normal setup has another
resolution than the one you have in your vm.

Nope. The other way round. I'd guess your X is not set up
correctly for the new display and that just GTK does some
fancy guessing that seems to cure the problem by actually
hiding it deep beneath the surface and so the problem
vanishes in GTK-/Gnome apps but exists in all real X apps
like scid.
