I have a 1920x1200 15' monitor. Ideally, dpi should be 146 or 147 so fonts are
readable.
There is an option in System Settings -> Appearence -> Fonts -> Force DPI
with two choices: 96 or 120. Setting it to 120 helps a bit, but I think it is
set to 96. Visiting http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/dpi-screen-window.html tells
me I'm using 96.
Here is a screenshot:

I think it should be configurable to whatever is needed, not only two choices.
An option I will try is to add "-dpi 146" to kdmrc's [X-:*-Core]'s
ServerArgsLocal.
Maybe it could be a KDM option?
Thanx!
