Not that I know of. One solution would be to install gnome.. fire up a gnome session and look for the gnome equivalent of the font customization utility that you used in KDE.. make your changes.. log out of gnome and start your KDE desktop. Heavy-handed but that's what I ended up doing when I first installed debian.. after spending a couple of weeks getting nowhere.. :-) You may also try something called "gtk-theme-switch" and/or "gtk-theme-switch2" and look for a large '+' that gives you access to "more options" and you should be able to change your fonts there. Lastly, you could try editing files called .gtkrc or/and .gtkrc-2.0 in your home directory. Depending on the gtk apps that you run, you may need to make changes to both.
