In your /etc/X11/XF86Config file, you likely have 100dpi fonts listed
before the 75dpi ones. Change the order so that the 75dpi ones are
first.
If you have neither listed, and instead have a line similar to
"unix:/7100" (from memory, sorry it may not be exact...), you need to
edit a different file. This is because you're using a font server,
likely "xfs". Again, from memory, I believe it's /etc/X11/xfs/config.
Look for a "catalouge = " entry and do the same as above. Also, there's
a line similar to this:
# 100 x 100 and 75 x 75
default-resolutions = 75,75,100,100
The default is to have the 100s first. As you can see from my entry, I
have the 75s listed first, for the same reason as you're asking.
It may not be necessary to change the "catalouge = " entry as the
"default-resolutions" may take care of it by itself. I've changed both
as I describe with no harm.
Good luck
