I don't believe there is a tool in the KDE menus to adjust YaST2 fonts
directly. You can adjust them indirectly by changing your X DPI. To change
them in the individual YaST2 modules directly requires you use
/usr/bin/qtconfig for SUSE 11.0 & 11.1. Older versions may require using
/usr/lib/qt3/bin/qtconfig, which is still used by the YaST2 control center as
of 11.1.

The file that stores the qt4 qtconfig setting is
$HOME/.config/Trolltech.conf. For qt3 I believe /usr/share/desktop-data/qtrc
is the file in control until you run v3 of qtconfig to write a value to
$HOME/.qt/qtrc. AFAICT, qt4 is hard-coded to use size 9 if there is no
override in $HOME/.config/Trolltech.conf, unless maybe it's controlled by the
overall SuSE theme.
