screen resolution, font size and real estate

[Adam Hardy]

My monitor does a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024. 

I'm using KDE and it seems that the font size at this resolution is considerably greater than it is in windows, which I use at work. So I am trying to work out what is going on. 

I tried setting my font sizes from 10 to 8 in the KDE settings / peripherals / display. This affected half of the applications I am using, but stuff like firefox, thunderbird, eclipse, rhythmbox and so on are generally ignoring it. 

Can I do anything to globally affect all font sizes in X, not just in the bits that KDE controls? 


Thanks
Adam
