Yeah i have set the dpi to '100' in  kdmrc and now it looks as without kdm.
You can safely close this bug report.

thanks for the support!

I suspect the problem here is that other diplay managers set a certain dpi 
when starting X, whereas kdm by default lets X autodetect the dpi.  (Which 
is a great thing, I think.)

I can't reproduce this. Changing the fonts in the Control Center changes the 
font sizes as you would expect. I suspect what you're finding is that when 
you start KDE using 'startx' or xdm, it uses a setting of 100 dpi to render 
fonts, whereas kdm tries to use DDC info to determine your monitor's 'true' 
dpi, and sets your font sizes accordingly. Hence the observed differences 
in font size between using kdm and not. You can force kdm to start KDE with 
a certain dpi value by editing /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc; a setting of 100 would 
probably return your fonts to the expected sizes.

If my theory is incorrect, let me know. Otherwise, if I don't hear from you, 
I'll close this report.

Cheers,
Christopher Martin

Bug#316899: KDM overrides kde default settings

[Andrea Cavaliero]

Package: kdm
Version: 3.4.1-1
Severity: normal

After installing kdm the fonts in kde are rendered smaller even if the
size declared in the Control Center has not been changed.
It seems that KDM overrides the whole KDE fonts settings, because after
purging the kdm package everythings gets normal.
