           Summary: Apps don't respect font size settings in KDE
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 4.1
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: hestyp at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

I logged this bug in Redhat's bugzilla but was asked to open the same issue in
upstream provider. So here it is. The original bug report is
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=459333


Description of problem:
Using Fedora 9 as HTPC here, so font size has to be adjusted a bit bigger to
accomodate reading from further away. So far, setting the font size in KDE's
system settings (e.g. set all font size to 18) is not picked up for all apps
tested. For example:
1. Konsole: still uses tiny fonts, even though the font size in profile setting
says it's already 18. Ironically, the font size 18 is displayed correctly when
konsole is started in Gnome.
2. Amarok: all the fonts inside the app (other than title bar) is small. Again,
if amarok is started in Gnome, the font settings are used.
3. Firefox: all the title fonts, tab title fonts are small.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Found in kde 4.1 from updates-testing, but also happened in kde 4.0

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use KDE.
2. Set font size in System Settings to something big.
3. Start any app.

Actual results:
Other than windows title, taskbar title, all fonts inside the app doesn't obey
the font size setting.

Expected results:
Nice and big fonts.
