Bad fontconfig settings or dirty cache ?

Have you tried deleting ~/.fontconfig ?

What do you see if you try to use a scaled font in xterm ?

The following resources should make xterm use fonts in a similar way
to Firefox, substitute something like Luxi Mono if you don't have
Inconsolata installed.

XTerm.vt100.faceName:           inconsolata
XTerm.vt100.faceSize:           9
