Most likely XMing (the X server -- where the graphics are displayed) is 
reporting your DPI wrong, since Windows does.

(KDevelop is the X client, even if it is running on a machine that would 
normally be referred to as a server.)

You can start kcontrol from the same command-line to do some configuration.  

I'm not sure if this will affect other X servers that you use (if any), but 
hopefully not.

'kdevelop --help-all' should give you all the options.
