how to make them normal?

i've noticed that minimum font size needs to be incredibly high, about 18 to make the fonts readable, but then all fonts are too big

setting it lower makes fonts tiny. the 14pt setting looks like an 8pt font...

I seem to recall having a similar issue last time I ran KDE (about 2 months ago). The fonts were a different size than they had been in XFCE. I didn't do much with it because I wound up switching back to XFCE soon thereafter (I was only really checking KDE out after not having used it for a while)

Since both Gnome and XFCE are GTK+ based and KDE is Qt based I would venture to say that it is a Qt issue or an issue with KDE itself. Maybe there is a config file somewhere(~/.kde/config/ ?) where you can alter default font sizes for apps running under KDE or an option that would allow a program to override the Window Managers font settings (if that is what is screwing up the font settings). I don't normally run KDE as my desktop anymore so I'm just making an educated guess.

i have two displays each running its own window manager instance.
on one display the fonts are very small on the other they are normal. what might be the reason for this?

Be sure your system DPI is the same as font DPI set in Gnome. I use 96 myself.
