well, before I thought to comment out the rgb line in my xorg.conf, i reinstalled the entire xorg package. when i commented out the line and got X working again, my fonts were suddenly huge. i don't know what to do about this and I haven't seen any other instances of this bizarre issue. i tried starting X with and without my xorg.conf file, fc-cache -vf, reconfiguring GTK+ settings and all. what can I do about this?

My first thought would be to check dpi settings. You can find out the current dpi by running xdpyinfo on the command line and search through it.

i tried adding to .fonts.conf:
<match target="pattern">
<edit name="dpi" mode="assign"><double>100</double></edit>
</match>
also tried this for xorg.conf:
exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp -dpi 96
added this to the device section
Option "UseEdidDpi" "false"
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
added this to the monitor section
DisplaySize 506 315 # 96 DPI @ 1920x1200 (non 4:3 aspect)
but after restarting it still says my DPI is 147:
[sa@psd ~]$ xdpyinfo | grep -B1 dot
dimensions: 1920x1200 pixels (331x207 millimeters)
resolution: 147x147 dots per inch

Try the following in your Device section of xorg.conf.
Option "UseEdidDpi" "false"
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
I use nvidia and I've got that in my xorg.conf. My dpi is running correctly.
EDIT: Err. you already did that....
Try my .fonts.conf: http://rsontech.net/dotfiles/laptop/.fonts.conf
Also, I've got dpi settings in my .Xdefaults, maybe that will help? http://rsontech.net/dotfiles/laptop/.Xdefaults
And my xorg.conf incase that helps: http://rafb.net/p/TaxcxC79.html

hmm, I am using your .fonts.conf and DPI settings from .Xdefaults. before certain things were the proper size and certain things were huge, now everything is huge. i'll mess with things a bit more and see if I can track down the problem. thanks so far!
i am still getting a large resolution though, need to track down the source of that:
[sa@psd ~]$ xdpyinfo | grep -B1 dot
dimensions: 1920x1200 pixels (331x207 millimeters)
resolution: 147x147 dots per inch

Check your /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc?
I also just realized that I have DisplaySize set in xorg.conf too. (It's been a while since I've done this stuff)

No problem. Glad it was something simple and not some hidden crazy setting somewhere.
