I actually had a similar problem with the fonts in many Gtk
and Gtk+ applications, so I changed the DPI value for the
whole X system by defining

	Option "DPI" "96 x 96"

in Section "Device" for your graphics card.

You can also let X determine the DPI value automatically
by entering

	DisplaySize 410 305

in Section "Monitor" for your monitor; units are in mm.

To try which resolution fits best, you can use the followng
commands:

	% xinit -- -dpi 72
	% xinit -- -dpi 75
	% xinit -- -dpi 96
	% xinit -- -dpi 100
	% xinit -- -dpi 115

If you're using a LCD panel, it should be obvious and match
the real hardware parameters.
