16 This may or may not help but find out what DPI X is rendering your fonts
17 at. I use 75dpi, but it might for some reason be set to 96 or something.
18 I think both X and KDE get the chance to set it (i delt with this with
19 xfce4 but i forget how i fixed it! I manually set DPI to 75 somewhere).
