Below are a few links which you may find useful in relation to your font problems;
Here's a link to Mozilla's site that talks extensively about font DPI issues http://www.mozilla.org/unix/dpi.html
Here's a link (it's for archlinux, but still should be okay) about how to configure Xorg.conf. Note section 4.11 which talks about font sizes and DPI: http://wiki2.archlinux.org/index.php/XOrg_Font_Configuration
Here's the gentoo-wiki page dealing with xorg and fonts. It talks a bit about fonts and DPI scaling; at the bottom however is a link about controlling the font DPI in X: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xorg_and_Fonts
And finally here's a link to some comments on the gentoo wiki about KDE/fonts/dpi/etc. I found this comment of particular use a while back: http://gentoo-wiki.com/Talk:HOWTO_Xorg_and_Fonts#Font_DPI
Lastly, I suggest you try searching the forums for stuff about kde, firefox, fonts, dpi, etc. Searching the forums has become increasingly annoying due to the volume of posts there, but if you dig long enough you should find something useful :)
Good luck!

Phew! what a long post. Sorry it's taken
so long to come back on this. I tried
the emerge x11-themes/gtk-engines-qt.
Then made the changes in KDE Control
center. No effect at all. I didn't have
Gnome installed, so to see if the basic
setting and hardware are ok I installed
it, this is what has taken so long. When
I ran Firefox under Gnome no problems,
everything was as it should be. So your
idea that it is basically a KDE problem
looks to be correct. Where I go from
here I have no idea.
