See man XF86Config. In the monitor section there is a "Display Size" option where you can set the size of your monitor in millimeters. That info should be available from the monitor users' manual or website, or the linux monitor database. I believe a standard 19" monitor (crt) is 363x272 mm
There is another way...
I took a look at my XF86Config and everything looks fine. Actually it has to be ok because in 97 out of 100 cases everything workes great and I never had to pass any options to 'startx'.

I usually fire up Gimp and check the system monitor resolution under "Preferences" "Monitor". Then change the resolution in the "Gnome Preferences" "Font" "Details" window to match what Gimp reports. this fixes the problem of varying font sizes for me. Your mileage may vary, especially if you don't use Gnome.
