Comment 4 for bug 314520

Interesting. I run:
# xdpyinfo | grep dots

and get resolution: 106x105 dots per inch

yet in the Details tab on System->Preferences->Appearance->Fonts it shows the resolution at 96dpi.

I had to downgrade to Ubuntu 8.04 to get some work done - do you think just changing the DPI to 105 would work?
