You may try to tell xorg your real screen size
(DisplaySize  305 185 in the Monitor section) and then have
gnome-font-properties use the dpi xdpyinfo reports after the change.

This will have fontconfig use your real hardware resolution and match
paper font rendering.

But since you have the same dpi in both directions, you should not see
any horizontal distortion now. If you compare to a printed sample and it
behaves the same way, that probably means the font is a little wider
than the ones you usually see. If you use it a few weeks then your
current fonts will appear too narrow ;)
