You can check the dpi settings with:

xdpyinfo |grep dot

Usually gnome uses 96 dpi and kde 100 dpi. To change the gnome settings 
  start gnome-control-center and go to fonts. Then go to Details and 
change the Resolution.

Finally you need to add gnome-session-daemon to kde autostart. If you're 
using kde you'll need to set this in order for the gnome settings to be 
available to gnome applications in the kde environment.

cd ~/.kde/Autostart ln -s /usr/bin/gnome-settings-daemon 
gnome-settings-daemon
