Since it isn't apparent you bothered to read through the dpi.html URL I
gave you, I don't think there is any more I can say at this point. You
mentioned nothing about which distro you are using or how you start KDE
to give any clue what component is trying to control DPI. Open
http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/dpi-screen-window.html in both Firefox and
Epiphany and Konq and see if all report the same DPI as KInfoCenter. You
may need to remove or add the GTK config setting for DPI, which is on
the 2nd page of gnome-control-center fonts.
