Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
After today's libgnome update to stop pinning to 96 dpi, fonts became excessively large. System is an Acer Aspire One running current Jaunty.
However, xdpyinfo reports correct information:
dimensions: 1024x600 pixels (195x113 millimeters)
resolution: 133x135 dots per inch
Given the correct information above, I'm not sure this necessarily is a bug in the driver or not, but it is certainly true that the default sizing of the fonts according to the detected DPI is much less of a useful default than the size based on the fixed 96 DPI that GNOME used before, so it's certainly a user-experience regression whatever the ultimate cause.

I can confirm this issue, although this computer has ATI graphics (see lspci.txt).
