This may or may not help... but do any of your X init scripts do an explicit xrdb -load or -merge of ~/.Xresources or ~/.Xdefaults? In Red Hat 8.0, for example, if I have xterm*faceSize to a particular value, when I first run an xterm it comes up one size. If I do xrdb -load ~/.Xresources, running a second xterm uses a larger size. Ditto for Mozilla. I have no idea what the "real" size is, i.e. if I have 12 as faceSize, if 12 is what I used before or after I do an explicit xrdb, but somehow running xrdb changes it. I have no idea why this is, but it may be related...

I ran gnome-fonts-properties in KDE and everything looked normal when it came up, but as soon as I started clicking on the 4 dropdowns at the top of the form, it made those fonts tiny like they are in GNOME. It also did the same to the fonts in Network Device Control, which was open to activate my dial-up. Strangely enough, the fonts in Evolution remained viable.
