font size, dpi and rendering in KDE and Gnome

[Dexter Filmore]

Since I have some gtk apps around I seup gtk theming in kcontrol.
Now, whatever I do I can't get the fonts to look alike reagrding size.

Example: I set everything but monospace to DejaVu Sans 8.
I tell kcontrol to use the same for gtk.
They look different, the font is smaller in gtk apps. Roughly matches DejaVu 
Sans 7. Since I even like that appearance better I set all KDE fonts to 
DejaVu Sans 7 and keep gtk at 8.
Now they *come close* but don't really match.
Height seems to match, but spacing and width is a wee tad wider in KDE apps.

Now how come? I thought KDE and Gnome both use fontconfig and just pass font 
rendering on to X.
I seriously like a consistent look.
