My screen resolution are well detected, I've checked them. In my mind if I
choose a size font of 10, then it must appear with the same size (in
millimeter) on my two monitors. This was the case with Gnome 2.18 but not with
Gnome 2.20. So I think that the screen resolution is badly used in the
calculation of the font.
