emacs 23.1: very large font

[Daniel Novotny]

Hello,

we upgraded Emacs in Fedora 11 and 12 to 23.1, but users start complaining,
that the font is too large.

this is a screenshot from cleanly installed Fedora 12 Alpha, showing
the default font:

do you know, what can be done to obtain the same
font size as before? This is a screenshot from Fedora 10:

thank you for your ideas,
