Configure Desktop only affects the KDE font settings. IDL is apparently using the much older (and less user friendly) X resources system to obtain its font settings so it won't help. Follow the tech support's advice and create an .Xdefaults file. I haven't used X resources for ages so I won't give any detailed advice but the first google hit for Xdefaults is "Using the .Xdefaults file" - https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/Support/KnowledgeBase/Docs/20020202104217 . You may want to find out the name of the X resource that IDL reads its font from - it might be "idl*Font", reading the page above, but that's just a guess.
