Maybe someone suggested this but your major problem may be that you
need to modify your font path to use higher res fonts, see xset(1) but
I use something like (cut+paste, dejavu and misc are irrelevant but
for pedagological sake):

  xset fp+ /usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/,/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc
  xset fp rehash

which can go in some *rc file or be run manually or from a shell
script.

If you need higher res than 100dpi you'll have to hunt those down
first or maybe you can prefer TrueType fonts not sure that works in
the general case.
