What do you mean by "system defaults"? Evolution uses the *Gnome* system
defaults. So set them using 'gnome-font-properties' when done with the
steps outlined below.

Well, maybe you should check for the DPI value used in KDE and Gnome. If
they differ, fonts set with the same size (in pt, not px!) *will* be
displayed in different sizes.

Set both DPI values to the same value, then adjust the default Gnome
fonts and KDE fonts. They will match and you will be able to reduce the
current big font size.


Hope, that will solve your problems...
