Specify just the "ptSz" in the constructed XLFD name (point size in units of 0.1pt). Do _not_ specify the "pxlsz" (pixel size) component - it depends on the target resolution. Specifying pixel size N and point size N*10 implicitly hardcodes 75dpi (well, 72, but...) and when you have only 100dpi fonts the results are poor. I haven't tested the case where you have both 75dpi and 100dpi but arguably if you make both variants available in your font path "just in case", the onus is on you to order them appropriately based on your screen resolution.
