I was having the same problem. I'm on a laptop with a UXGA screen and was 
having a hell of a time getting XF86 configed correctly. After I did that, I 
had to adjust the screen size to give me 96 dpi. Once I did that, kmail 
functioned as it should with regard to font size.

You can set the fonts to use in XF86Config, I'm using the 100 dpi fonts, but 
they really only seem to affect gnome apps, not kde.
