The real question is "what for?"  DTP and design fonts are very
different from screen fonts optimized for readability.

One thing that might help is to calculate the *real* DPI for that screen
and program X to respect it.  (See the xorg.conf manual page)

This *will* result in bigger fonts and, consequently, a screen that
shows less text -- but I certainly prefer having that to having
unreadable text. :)
