This is what happens when the X server tries to scale bitmap fonts. To
avoid this behaviour, you can set
  \screen_font_scalable false
in your lyxrc. Do not use this if you use truetype fonts (as suggested
elsewhere) though!

Your two X servers have probably a different idea of what their dpi
(dots per inches) resolution is. On my station, for example, I have:

fantomas: xdpyinfo 
name of display:    :0.0
version number:    11.0
[...]
screen #0:
  dimensions:    1280x1024 pixels (342x274 millimeters)
  resolution:    95x95 dots per inch
  depths (1):    8
[...]

Since my screen is 95dpi, LyX will use this info in its
calculations. If it appears that the dpi value returned on  one of
your systems does not make sense, you can use
  \screen_dpi 100
or whever value fits well. Note that X bitmap fonts are provided for
75 and 100 dpi.

Hope this helps.
