Actually, when I upgraded my laptop, I had the same issue. I think this
has been in the trunk for a while:

    On second thought, set the minimum font size to be 1. This way, a user
    can just set the font sizes to be 1, and get a reasonable (live)

    Reduced the default minimum Xft size to 5. With high resolution displays
    of today (e.g. my new laptop), this is still quite readable.
