In GNOME applications run in KDE, the fonts are simply terrible. They are far too big and just look so bad. This includes apps such as firefox and evolution. Probably others. But those are the ones I regularly use.
Where is the correct place to say that GNOME apps should use KDE fonts, or even just which fonts they should use? In the KDE Personal Settings app I see where to set this for GTK apps. In that menu it says to set GNOME fonts in the GNOME configuration tools. I don't think it is gconftool-2. And I do not see a reference to a font anywhere in gnome-control-center. So, where to configure this for these apps running in KDE? I did not install GNOME as a whole. Only the apps I use. Maybe that is it?

In the KDE System Setting thingy. Under Application appearance there is a GTK thingy. You can set it to use KDE fonts. If its all "hideous" though, it sounds to me like you may have a bigger problem.
KDE desktop, panel and apps look great. It is GNOME that seeks to suffer. In evolution, there is a control to change the font in the message text, and that works as expected. The rest of the app fonts are, apparently, not specified in the app. I guess they are expected to be set globally so the apps share a common look and feel. Same with firefox. And LibreOffice, I now see.
I did set the KDE flag for GTK apps to use KDE fonts. That seems to have no effect here. As I wrote, that same menu says that GNOME apps are not effected by this and need to be set in the GNOME configuration program. GTK != GNOME in this aspect, I guess. I am trying to determine which app that may be used to set these fonts. I ran into this same problem. Its from GTk3 apps. THey theme differently and will not accept the KDE themeing or normal GTK2. There is a package somewhere... called oxygen-gtk3 if I recall that fixes this. -- Roger Luedecke openSUSE Ambassador Ind.
