Does it substitute a different font (family) or does it show the same
font rendered differently (larger/smaller, blurrier/more ragged, etc.)?

I would start by comparing the output of these commands for the two
situations:
xdpyinfo | grep resolution
xrdb -query | grep Xft
fc-list | grep -i arial
xlsfonts | grep arial
(The last one produces 162 lines of output on my system, so you might
want to use diff.)
