That's an important point.
Are all the fonts rendering bigger than they should or just happens with
Verdana? If only one font is rendering badly, it is also possible that
the file is corrupted in some way.
OTOH, are you using TrueType (".ttf) fonts?

In Gnome, you can right-click on the desktop and select "Change desktop
background / Fonts tab / Details"
In KDE, it should be under Control Center (or "Systems settins", I dunno
the KDE4 way :-P) / Appearance / Fonts.
