Font Scaling Question

Hi all,

I have 2 computers, both Athlon XP, both Radeon, both 17" Trinitron 
monitors (Sony G200 and Dell D1025TM), with identical X Configs except 
that one is set for a higher refresh rate, sync, etc.- the main computer 
is Radeon 8500 with 1600x1200 at 75hz, the 2nd is Radeon LE with 
1600x1200 at 60hz.

And I have virtually identical Gentoo installs on both- the 2nd was set 
up yesterday by copying the contents of the 1st hard disk to it via NFS.

Yet fonts in these basically identical setups are totally different 
size-wise.

The main system has 10-pt. defaults, anti-aliasing enabled.  So those 
settings got copied over as well, but on the 2nd system 10-pt. is almost 
double the size that it is on the 1st system.

Attached is the XF86Config from machine 2.  Any ideas on what I might 
try to get the 2nd machine displaying fonts correctly?
