I usually just leave it set to system settings but you I eventually discovered that it is simpler to just lie to everyone about the DPI of the display than to track down the obscure pref dialogs in each app. I go into the xorg.conf file and lie about the physical dimension of the display. I usually find if I tell it the display is somewhat larger than half the size it actually is, the fonts show up about right. Of course, this doesn't help those apps that pay no attention to the display's reported DPI, you still have to track them down :-).
