The "correct way to fix this" goes like this:
~$ xdpyinfo | grep dimen
dimensions: 1024x768 pixels (286x214 millimeters)
286 / 10 / 2.54 = 11 inch
1024 / 11 = 93 dpi
This is the correct dpi value for your current monitor and resolution.
Just fill in the values xdpyinfo gives you. Now
# vim /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 93 -nolisten tcp
adjust the -dpi parameter. If you use Gnome (KDE might also apply) you
can set the same value in the font configuration. Now all applications
should display the same font in the same size.
