Yep, just had a read of the link:
"The FontPath tells X where to find the fonts it uses to render text on
your display. Order is important -- when an X application asks X to
render some text, the X server usually has some leeway to choose the
font that is used. The X server then goes through the FontPath and grabs
the first font it sees that matches the X client's criteria, and then
renders."
"Default installations typically put 75dpi fonts before the 100dpi
fonts. If you have a high resolution display, this means very tiny
fonts. If this is the case, the first tweak you'll use is to switch the
75dpi and 100dpi FontPath lines"
Note that the order is important. I think from your original email you
said that the fonts being rendered were big ass =) To correct this make
sure that the 75dpi FontPath listing appears before the 100dpi.
Was this the issue or am I on crack?
