Perhaps the DisplaySize option for xorg.conf could help with that. Check the 
xorg docs for it's use (it's straight forward though).

What you can do with it is besides telling X what resolution to use is to tell 
the display size. This should have impact on the fonts and other displayed 
items.

It didn't work very well for my display size though (2mx1.5m projector 
screen ) otherwise it has been a nice feature to solve display issues :-)
