Changing graphics card causes applications' and window manager's fonts to change?

    Yesterday I shut my Debian box off, swapped in a different graphics
    card, rebooted, went into a console and changed one line of
    XF86Config-4 (the Driver line for the card) and did "/etc/init.d/gdm
    restart". The screen resolution is the same and the monitor is the
    same.

    The GDM login screen came up in a slightly larger font and the fonts
    used by XFCE4, Firefox and the KDE apps that I run all came up
    differently.

    Why does just changing the graphics card (and driver) while keeping
    everything else constant have this effect?

    Thanks,
    Adam
