For Gnome, you can adjust the DPI value with the same app you set the
default fonts. Click the "Details" button to change the Resolution.

$ gnome-font-properties


Dunno where to set this in KDE -- I do not use KDE... ;)

Uhm, yep, likely... ;)

FWIW: I know mismatching DPI values where at least once the culprit for
too large Gnome fonts on a KDE desktop.
