IIUC, you have tried TrueType fonts (e.g. Arial) and you had the same 
result.  Nobody can reproduce your problem so the best that we can do is 
guess.  The one thing that I might suggest is to try to determine if the 
problem is that the fonts are too large by comparing them to the same 
font in the same size in an editor.

I would also try this.  Open a Konsole and execute:

	xrandr --dpi 100

and then open the application that you had a problem with (it won't 
affect applications already opened) and see if it makes any difference.
