The font sizes are loaded in the order they appear in
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4.  By putting the entry for 75dpi first, it will force
Netscape and other applications to use the 75dpi fonts, and apps that can't
use 75dpi will use 100dpi.  This is how the first part of the file should
look.  Yours will currently have the 100dpi listed first.
