You are probably using 75dpi fonts. In the
/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86config file, you might want to
comment out your 75 dpi fonts, leaving just 100dpi fonts. I
found 100dpi too big, having configured xfstt for true type
fonts. If you have not configured your system for true type
fonts, then using your 100dpi and see if it works.
