It can't actually.

What, very specifically, is your problem? You claim it's a problem
with fonts.conf, but Xfce doesn't do anything to the fontconfig
configuration, though it does, by default, set DPI, which can affect
font size - which might be your problem. On the other hand, perhaps
your fonts.conf is broken, and Gnome overrides the underlying settings
- possible.

Or your distro could be doing something when Xfce and/or Gnome starts
up that is out of the scope of either environment. This is most
likely.

Can you be more clear about your problem? Perhaps post a comparison
screenshot to some webspace, and send the link to the list.
