It sounds to me like you're *missing* fonts, not that you necessarily
need to resize them. I needed to install the following font packages (and
then update the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file):
	msttcorefonts
	xfonts-100dpi
	xfonts-75dpi
	xfonts-base

When I installed mozilla-firebird it also affected my font packages, but
I'm not entirely sure what it installed. I do know that after I'd
installed it I'd lost xbase-clients but then gained a whole bunch of new
font smoothness.

My XF86Config-4 file has the following lines:
Section "Files"
        FontPath        "unix/:7100"                    # local font server
        # if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"       # xfonts-base
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType"   # msttcorefonts
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/encodings"  # xfonts-base
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/large" #xfonts-base
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/util"       # xfonts-base
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"     # xfonts-100dpi
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"      # xfonts-75dpi

The path may vary on your system, but those are all of the packages I have
installed (plus whatever mozilla-firebird did).

Hope that helps!
