I believe that I have found a way to fix the issue.

The problem was the DPI, the fonts are the same size.  Now everything
seems to be normal :)

I vistited the online tour

http://www.xfce.org/about/tour

Then clicked on the application finder, appearance, then clicked on
DPI and raised the number to 96 did not see what it was though.

Thanks Polytropon for your valuable help and suggestions.

Regards,


Antonio
