xfontsel is a great tool!  I've been looking for something like this for
a long time to demystify the  -adobe-times-bold-r-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-* 
font args that had left me saying ARG!  Thanks.

I found this web site very helpful in setting up my default X fonts:
http://www.frii.com/~meldroc/Font-Deuglification.html

After following his advice for setting up my XF86Config file, I now start 
my X with the command:

startx -- -bpp 16 -dpi 100

I'm running my monitor at 1280x1024 and with the font paths set correctly
and my default being 100 dpi I can see clearly now:)
