Hello again folks,

 I solved my own problem. Turns out my desktop was at 84x86dpi (odd, but that's according to xdpyinfo) and my laptop at 96dpi. I copied the DisplaySize values from my desktop's XF86Config and all is well now.

Using the same fonts.conf/fonts.dtd/font files, I get two different point size scales: 9pt fonts on my desktop are 8pt on my laptop, and so on. Generally, fonts are one point bigger (and uglier) on my laptop than on my desktop.
