That did it.  I had to adjust it as if I were running at 1080i;
apparently the DPI setting doesn't adjust with xrandr (since it can't
adjust fonts when changing modes, that makes sense).
I still wish that there was a setting to change that font size.  Big
fonts are a nice thing, and faking out the DPI settings isn't always the
best way of handling it.
I guess it's a wish list item.
