DPI affects point sizes, but not px sizes. Most apps and desktop fonts are pt
sizes, heavily affected by DPI. Mozilla is an exception, with fonts not
affected by DPI. If you don't change the size back to 8 or more _before_
fixing the real problem, you may find if very difficult to set back.

Either boot into runlevel 3 directly, or after boot to X, instead of logging
in, switch to one of the virtual consoles, login as root, 'init 3', 'sax2',
and specify nv driver and a generic 1680x1050 22" display or some similar
Samsung LCD. Then 'init 5' and see if X got fixed. Normally VESA display
and/or gfxcard driver is for emergency use only on widescreen displays, and
won't be able to be configured for good results on a HDMI cable. You might
ultimately need the proprietary driver, but it's easier to try nv first if
right now you're stuck in VESA.
