Should have provided more details:

I use enlightenment (xinerama) 3 heads (on debian woody)
I haven't installed anything new
I did recently have a play using other window managers (gnome, kde,
asclassic)

More detailed analysis shows that using this machine over XDCMP(?)
everything is fine.  Also when a different user logs onto this machine
(using KDE2) the same huge font effect is seen.  I've tried restarting
X and restarting xfs but this didn't clear it up.

What did happen to clear it up was me powering it down to move HDs
(I'll be getting a firewire card and caddy soon).  I dislike this as a
solution (the only acceptable reason to restart should be kernel
change, hardware change/failure).  

I'll have a go at replicating the problem next week...but then where
would I look to sort it out?
