I had the opposite problem, as the font size was too big for the netbook 
screen, but it seems to me that the same solution would work both ways.  Take 
a look at http://plasmasturm.org/code//gtk-chtheme/gtk-
chtheme-0.3.1-1.i386.rpm

It adds a gtk section to your configurations, where you can first try telling it 
to match your KDE settings, and if that doesn't work, you can make 
adjustments.  HTH
