KHelpCenter uses your default KHTML settings. For 3.1b configure the fonts in KControl -> Web Browser -> Fonts. You can set a minimum global font size here. For other versions, it's in various places, most commonly it used to be in an "Appearance" tab under Konqueror's configuration, most easily reached by "Settings -> Configure Konqueror" while running Konq itself. For many versions of KDE, you can also set a per encoding font choice, and if this is the case, make sure the If you have really special needs (low contrast colors, large font sizes, anything else) you can configure a custom stylesheet in KControl -> Web Browser -> Stylesheets. You can choose a hand written one ("user-defined stylesheet") or you can use the Customize tab in this module to create one with a GUI. All these configure all HTML rendering KDE wide, if you really need to you can just change KHelpCenter - I can't imagine why, because, KHelpCenter doesn't set any fonts at all, using the system defaults. The file to edit is $KDEDIR/share/doc/HTML//common/kde-localized.css.template, which is a standard CSS file, and copy it to $KDEDIR/share/doc/HTML//common/kde-localized.css . You can add anything you like here (be very careful with syntax, CSS by design stops processing all further instructions if you make an error): body { color: black; font-size: 10pt; } kde-localized.css is processed last, if it exists, and anything set in this file "wins". Since the kde-localized.css file is not installed directly by KDE, only the template, it will survive upgrades and new installations, but if you choose this route, do keep a copy. And finally, if the issue is you're using very large screen dimensions, and that is making the fonts very small, try running X with higher DPI: startx -- -dpi 120 & ought to do the trick (you'll probably find in fact, you have to adjust all your font sizes down not up, after this.)
