I used Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure Konqueror... -> Appearance -> Font 
size.  I didn't recognize Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure Konqueror... -> 
Fonts.  If the latter is the place to configure the font size, what is the 
Appearance -> Font size setting for?  Why isn't the actual font size changed 
when changing Appearance -> Font size?

In addition, the font size is too large as I already mentioned.  After 
experimenting a bit with the X server's -dpi switch I've come to the 
conclusion that Konqueror's HTML viewer doesn't honor the X server's dpi 
setting but always assumes 100 dpi instead.  So if you start the X server 
with -dpi 100, Konqueror works correctly.  If you start the X server without 
the -dpi switch (as it is the default with KDM in Debian now), you get a 
setting of 75 dpi.  This results in the HTML text being displayed (100 dpi - 
75dpi) / 75 dpi = 33 % too large and you have to set Fonts -> Medium font 
size to 8 in order to get a font size of approximately 11.

Best wishes,
