This is a screenshot from Fedora 10: http://people.fedoraproject.org/~dnovotny/emacs-fonts-normal.jpg the bug report implies that the problem here is that emacs is scaling the requested font size according to the display resolution reported by Xorg. These are accurate for the dimensions of the screen, but that doesn't mean emacs should use them to change the font sizes the user requested: see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=517272#c3 thank you for your ideas, Daniel Novotny, Red Hat inc.
