Actually, there's deeper magic than that involved.  In a recent release of 
the unstable tree in debian,  the /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc file changed on me 
which made all my fonts come up at 100dpi instead of the 75dpi that I'm 
accustomed to.  In my file, there was a line that looked like this:

   exec X -dpi 100

I changed it to 
  
   exec X -dpi 75

and now at least my fonts aren't huge. One problem solved.
