The fonts after the kde session starts is fine - but on the lap top the kdm logon box fills most of the screen, the workstation is is of a reasonable size.
the file you refer to with the line like the above in is /etc/X11/kdm/Xservers but there is also a file /etc/X11/kdm/Xresources which has a some degree of influence here. Where I think you are getting confused, there is a directory /etc/kde2 in which there is a file kdmrc - this describes a whole load of paramters for the login box too.
