KDE font size changes randomly
The KDE font size keeps changing randomly.
I set the font size to Arial 10 and use it for about a week or 2.
I shut down my desktop every night.
Then, the next morning, Arial 10 is huge and I can't fit 80 character
across on the screen. I switch it back to Arial 4.
Then I use it for a week or 2.
Then, after my nightly shutdown and reboot, Arial 4 is too tiny
to read and I have to set it back to Arial 10.
Repeat the above loop infinitely.
This isn't a show stopper, but it gets annoying when I have my
desktop looking beautiful the way I like it.
Is there a place dpi set up?
$ more /etc/X11/gdm/Xservers
/etc/X11/gdm/Xservers: No such file or directory
$ egrep dpi /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt7 -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp
The above file has not changed in 6 months, so it is
not the culprit.
As you can see below, I'm running every font server in debian
in hopes of making my fonts smooth and nice looking.

I don't know where to look.
THanks in advance,
