Thanks for the hint, now things looks all right now.
My laptop screen is 14in 5:3 wide screen, guess that's
why things got screwed up. Now I set the display size
explicitly in xorg.conf, I am running debian testing.
No way to let the machine detect the correct DPI
automatically? guess that requir

Indeed yes. The included "nv" driver uses 75 dpi, the non-free
"nvidia" driver uses 111 dpi.

Wonderful! Thanks!
Note: it does have to be .gtkrc, and not .gtkrc-kde, which existed

Add something like the following to the end of your $HOME/.gtkrc file.

Re-ordering the lines in the file didn't work. This leads me to believe
I'm looking in the wrong place.
But I've just noticed something I didn't before: It seems that the
fonts in all KDE apps (konqueror, kmix, kcontrol) are a nice size, but
everything else (mozilla, xmms (menus), gimp, aisl

The font sizes are loaded in the order they appear in
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4. By putting the entry for 75dpi first, it will for

Look at the order in which the fonts appear in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
If the 100dpi fonts appear before the 75dpi fonts, try reversing the
