It sounds as if your Xserver is now using 75dpi fonts instead of 100dpi
(I *think* it is that way around, but I might have got things reversed),
possibly because it is now able to ask the monitor how big your screen is.
If the "Files" section of your config file has these lines:
FontPath "/usr/X11R6-v4/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6-v4/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
try reversing then, to put the 100dpi first.
You could also try running "X -dpi 100" (or "startx -- -dpi 100") -
if you run a graphical login you might want to put "X -dpi 100"
into some config file - perhaps /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers
You can also set the screen size (in mm) with the DisplaySize command
in the "Monitor" section of your config file - see "man XF86Config".
