Hello,
I have a problem with fonts in Firefox, Azureus, kadu and some other programs in KDE. I tried setting up fonts in KDE Control Center and that helped but not for some of the applications. I guess they use some other widget toolkit. How do I go about changing menu/dialog fonts in those applications?
Thank you!

Well, for firefox:

Edit->preferences->Content->Fonts&Colors->Advanced

I recommend using Bitstream fonts in firefox.

For example, my settings are as follows:

DEFAULT: Bitstream Vera Sans (16)
Adv.Proportional: Serif (16)
Adv.Serif: Bitstream Vera Serif
Adv.Sans-serif: Bitstream Vera Sans
Adv.Monospace: Bistream Vera Sans Mono (12)

EDIT: You could also play with your xorg.conf...

Thanks, but I don't mean webpages fonts. I mean interface fonts, the fonts of the menu and dialog boxes.

Check out the link I put. You might need to fix your font DPI in your xorg.conf.

Ok, problem solved by installing and setting up gtk-engines-qt.
Thanks for your help.
