It seems that since Jaunty Beta, this is ignored again and there is a default of 96 DPI (at least for both nv and nvidia) set in gconf for LiveCD and Install.
"gconftool-2 --unset /desktop/gnome/font_rendering/dpi" will remove this default value and subsequently, X-based auto-fontsize works - though in gnome-appearance-properties, it still shows 96, no matter what. IIRC, the latter is not the case in Fedora.
