Similar. A recent upgrade of X changed order of font paths. Check the
order of font paths in XF86Config-4. Also, if you are using xfs,
change order in catalogue line in /etc/X11/fs/config to be:

catalogue = /usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/

and restart xfs. If you want default fonts to be smaller, start with
75dpi fonts rather than 100dpi in catalogue line.
