Thanks for the hint, now things looks all right now.
My laptop screen is 14in 5:3 wide screen, guess that's
why things got screwed up. Now I set the display size
explicitly in xorg.conf, I am running debian testing.
No way to let the machine detect the correct DPI
automatically? guess that requir

Indeed yes. The included "nv" driver uses 75 dpi, the non-free
"nvidia" driver uses 111 dpi.

Hi. I'm finally getting the nVidia driver compiled/installed. That's
the easy part.
While using the nv driver, everything is fine.
The nVidia driver loads fine, detects and utilizes AGP, but when X is
being displayed, all the fonts are HUGE! Ok, I

Wonderful! Thanks!
Note: it does have to be .gtkrc, and not .gtkrc-kde, which existed
already for me.

Add something like the following to the end of your $HOME/.gtkrc file.

Re-ordering the lines in the file didn't work. This leads me to believe
I'm looking in the wrong place.
But I've just noticed something I didn't before: It seems that the
fonts in all KDE apps (konqueror, kmix, kcontrol) are a nice size, but
everything else (mozilla, xmms (menus), gimp, aisl

I seem to be using 100dpi fonts. This wouldn't bother me, but since
many programs seem to assume 75dpi, lots of elements like buttons and
things (especially in mozilla) are sized too small, and the text gets
clipped. How can I use 75dpi fonts instead?

Look at the order in which the fonts appear in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
If the 100dpi fonts appear before the 75dpi fonts, try reversing the
order and restart the display manager

The obvious answer is add -dpi 75 to however X gets started on your system --
