Hi there. I've always had that problem myself and before KDE 4.0 I had
always been able to fix it thanks to gdm/kdm config file (depending on
the one I had on my laptop).

Well this time it went all differently when installing Kubuntu Remix.
Once installed, when the login screen appeared I switched to text mode
(CTRL +ALT +, say, F5), and went looking for such a conf file as I was
used to doing in older versions of (K)Ubuntu. I soon gave up.

But just now I found the way to solve this in a forum. It not only
solves the login screen High DPI fonts you are used to, but also the
all-KDE4 dpi problem and all. I can't tell whether it is "correct" to
solve this that way, but it works and seems to be a good work-around at
least.

Just go to your xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/ and change it,

1. At login screen, press CTRL+ALT+F5 (or another working one)
2. log in with your user account
3. then go to the proper directory using   "cd /etc/X11"
4. then edit it as root using   "sudo pico xorg.conf"
5. go down to the screen section and insert a line (which should be the last 
line between Section Screen   and   EndSection)
6. here is the line to add:          Option "DDC" "no"
7. Leave using CTRL+X and pico asks you whether to save, answer yes, of course.
8. once back to the shell prompt, just reboot the computer using   " sudo 
reboot "
9. Enjoy!

I hope this helps.
