Salut,
I finally tracked down the solution to this annoyance with oversized
fonts. As per my previous email, this is caused by attempting to change
the KDE panel clock to am/pm format through the right-click-option
"Adjust Date & Time".
Solution:
EDIT THIS FILE: /home/yourname/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals
GO FIND: [Locale]
AND CHANGE THE CHARSET LINE TO: Charset=unknown
It is this line that the process "Adjust Date & Time" changes resulting
in assigning KDE with an unsupported ISO set.
I hope you made some sense of my above jibberish.
