I am running Gnome apps under KDE and I had a lot of trouble getting the
KDE and Gnome font sizes to match.  I eventually I found I had to do the
following to make all my KDE, Gnome and GTK application fonts
consistent:

1. Start the gnome-settings-daemon via a KDE startup file.
2. Remove the xscreensaver package that the gnome-settings-daemon
started as I couldn't stop it being started.
3. Install gtk-qt-engine which gives a option under KDE control center
to sync GTK fonts with KDE fonts
4. Add a .Xresources file to user home directories containing the line:
Xft.dpi: 96
