    Don't know if this has anything to do with your problem, but I have noticed to
    things myself that effect font.

    The DPI and or Screen Size.

    Sometimes when Sax can't detect the monitor settings it will ask you for the
    size of the monitor. Some message that ends with "Do you want to specify
    now?" when you start Sax. It is asking for mm of the screen size that it
    uses to make the DPI settings for rendering.

    I found an interesting addition for my Display in XF86Config file to get my
    DPI square (on a widescreen monitor (1200x800)). I can't remember what it
    was. I don't have my laptop with me at the moment.

    If you want to know more, lemme know and I'll look at it when I get home

    Before I found this, I made sure NOT to specify my self and just picked a VESA
    dislay.

    B-)
