If the Xserver doesn't know the size of the screen you have to set
something.  But that isn't the point.

If you are using computed resolution, the DPI shouldn't make any difference.

But, what we need to address is the size of your fonts.  Is there some 
reason that your fonts are larger for the same size setting, or do you 
just like smaller fonts.

I attach a screenshot to which I have added a magenta line which should 
be 1 inch.
