Several things are confusing in this report. You mention that it comes up with a 29x39 dpi, however none of your log files show that dpi. Second, your xorg.conf appears to be hardcoding the DisplaySize... why? Third, your xdpyinfo.txt file shows 1280x1024 pixels (361x203 millimeters), which is 90x128 dots per inch, and that does not look incorrect.

One other question, are you using GNOME or KDE? On Jaunty's GNOME it should already be forcing it to a fixed dpi, which gets around a lot of the issues.

Beyond this, I've written up a guide on how to debug font size issues due to incorrect dpi. Please review this and update this bug with the relevant information:
