My guess is that the font size is specified in points, and the
displays have different physical resolutions (dpi), resulting in
different font sizes in pixels.

If that's the case, you can either specify the font size in pixels (at
least, you can if you use X resources; I don't know about the
customize interface), or force the new display to the same dpi as the
old one via the -dpi option.
