I have installed a few KDE/QT based apps, and I have noticed taht teh default txt size is quite large (esp. the titlebars and statusbars). The default is 12pt, which is huge on my screen. I would like to change it to 9 or 10, but I cannot figure out how to do it. Does anybody have any ideas?

You can use the 'qtconfig' command to change your Qt looks.

I changed my font size to 9, but the text is still huge... what else can I do? The programs are Konqueror and Amarok.

If you're talking about the window bars and such again, you have to use the config file openbox, just like the answer in your other post.

You have to distinguish between window manager fonts and application fonts. (inside the windows)
