Small fonts some softwares

While I am in KDE, the menu fonts are too small at some softwares which is based on gnome such as menudrake, abiword etc. While I am in Gnome, at this time, in contrast to first, KDE software's fonts are too big. How can I fix this problem? Thanks for problems.

PS: I installed all fonts such as msttcorefonts, bitstream fonts and so much.
Best regards.

The gnome apps probably have their fonts set for a 96 dpi environment where they would appear normal. In KDE however, it uses the default dpi so it's probably at 75dpi. Thats why kde apps have really large fonts in gnome.

Check out the GTK theme switcher. It sets the theme and font that GTK apps use when they're run outside of Gnome.

You distro may have a package for it, the package name in Gentoo portage is "gtk-theme-switch"
