I asked a similar question a few weeks ago.  Like you, I use Digikam but 
not KDE.  After sharpening my Google-fu, I found this today:

which led me to change my ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals file to include 
font settings in the "General" section:

[General]
fixed=Monospace,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
font=Sans Serif,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
menuFont=Sans Serif,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
taskbarFont=Sans Serif,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
toolBarFont=Sans Serif,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0


These settings work on the 10-inch display of my netbook.  I can now see 
all of Digikam's beautiful user interface without plugging in an 
external monitor.

FWIW, I also change the Gnome font settings to use subpixel smoothing 
and full hinting.  I don't know if that's important or not.
