If the OP is using an flat panel display (FPD), then changing the declared monitor resolution may not be the best way. Normally with an FPD, you want to set the declared resolution to be the native resolution of the flat panel. Otherwise the video card must scale. Scaling can introduce artifacts on sharp edges like text fonts and make them look mushy. Instead you can might try the "DPI" option in xorg.conf. I have (in the "Device" Section) Option "DPI" "100x100" for my 1920x1200 laptop display. This made all the fonts SMALLER than they were before putting in that option. (I like small fonts.) Play around with this to see if affects things. Note that I'm using the Note that I'm using the binary nvidia driver. Not sure if this option is valid for nouveau.
