JM is now using Xft. Your problem is most likely caused by a wrong
JM detection of your screen’s characteristics. You can override it by
JM passing the -dpi 96 to your X server, in your display manager’s
JM configuration.

Ah, sounds like the breakthrough to the chain of thought I need.
OK, I managed to do -dpi 96 by editing /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers.
But however: STILL UGLY, below. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Hmmm, /var/log/Xorg.0.log said
(==) intel(0): DPI set to (96, 96)
all along, -dpi 96 or not.

Maybe I should compare the state of X on my two computers to find the
difference that makes the font double spaced on one.

What output should I compare, xset q? Xorg.0.log?
I suppose I would use
$ sort output1 output2|uniq -u
to find the differences.

 OK, where should I reassign this bug to for not getting IBM Thinkpad
 r50e dpi correct?

That would be the X server (xserver-xorg-core).

reassign 487460 xserver-xorg-core
thanks
(I also note one must use pstree -aA when within
$ uxterm -fa ''
else overprinting occurs. (Simulate with pstree -aG.))
