Thanks for the Xorg.0.log.There is indeed a clue

 26.805] (II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1920 x 1080
[    26.840] (--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (46, 43); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config

The DPI is set to 46, 43 by the nvidia-driver which is too low.
We can try the following

In the terminal
sudo nvidia-xconfig --no-use-edid-dpi

This will write a new /etc/X11/xorg.conf and disable use of DPI info from the monitor

After this is done open the file from terminal with leafpad
sudo leafpad /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Now look for the section “Monitor”
Add this line to the section
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"

Or you might go higher with 112dpi or 120dpi, but 96dpi is the standard.
Close and save the file. Hopefully after reboot your fonts are fine.

I’m sorry that last time I did not provide you a screen shot for “Restarting IceWM”.

What you told me to do seems to have solved the dpi problem. I will mark this subject “solved” however, as you know sometimes what seems to be working can change if for some reason something else interferes. At least for the time being this problem seems to be solved.

I recorded the work you told me to do and a screen shot of the results.

sudo nvidia-xconfig --no-use-edid-dpi
[sudo] password for gregory: 

Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
Option "UseEdidDpi" "False" added to Screen "Screen0".
Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'
New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'

sudo leafpad /etc/X11/xorg.conf

This is good news.Thanks for posting the results.
It might be that the problems are not caused by your nvidia-card but by a communication problem with this monitor. I don’t think there will be any further problems.
Apart from the fact that you already said there are 2 other problems to solve with antiX.It is a very fast operating system and in my opinion it is definitely worth the effort.
