BTW most trouble with fonts being too small in X11 come from the display size
not properly set in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. This can happen if your monitor wasn't
properly recognized, so there is no information about its physical dimensions.
In that case, X11 will assume a default value for the monitor DPI (dots per
inch) which may or may not be correct. More often than not, fonts become much
too small, in particular with high screen resolutions: A default font size on a
screen with much more DPI than expected _will_ be too small.
You might want to check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf for a section like this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor[0]"
VendorName "MAX"
ModelName "BELINEA 101905"
UseModes "Modes[0]"
DisplaySize 380 300
HorizSync 30.0 - 80.0
VertRefresh 43.0 - 75.0
Option "CalcAlgorithm" "XServerPool"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
"DisplaySize" is the visible size of the monitor in millimeters (width and
height). If the value is not there, simply use a ruler to measure the sizes and
add that line.
