What does:

$ xdpyinfo | grep resolution

say?  Recently on my system, something decided that my fonts should be
112x112 or something, which made most everything appear with *huge*
text.  I ended up modifying the Xservers configuration file for my
display manager to pass "-dpi 100" to /usr/X11R6/bin/X to force 100x100
dpi fonts.
