Hmm, okay...  After poking around with xfontsel it looks as though you
were half-right: changing the order of fonts in XF86Config-4 fixed
things, but the ugly fonts were in fact scalable Type1 fonts, not bitmap
fonts.  Putting ..../75dpi:unscaled and ..../100dpi:unscaled ahead of
..../Type1 did the trick. :-)

Cheers,
