Is KDE ever going to facilitate non-kde (i.e. mstly gnomelike) apps to display readable font sizes out-of-the-box? I mean I have a 1920x1200 monitor which is no screaming hell these days, I'm looking at usenet
articles on the WORLD's most popular usenet reader (T-Bird) and the menu fonts are like 3 mm in HEIGHT, hairline thin and just about unreadable
on a sunny day. Not only that, but I remember reading complaints almost verbatim like this more than 10 years ago and still fuckall has changed!

Tried with Settings:Application Style/Gnome Application Style ?
Also thunderbird is affected of custom css in the chrome directory in
the profile directory.
I have never had your issue, been using thunderbird for quite many years
in KDE environment, maybe it's just your distribution which does some
stupid things?

I been using SuSe for the last year at work and using thunderbird as my
mail client, still not had your issue.
At work I haven't even bothered to configure Gnome applications.

1920x1200 & Nvidia 640
in KDE I set font size 10 for everything (12 for title bars).
This works out ok excecpt for the cited non-kde apps.
For nedit I have to append to /etc/X11/Xresources
nedit*fontList: -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--22-*-*-*-*-*-*
but for the menu font that has no effect and I'm not sure
if it has any effect at all with Splashma5

At home I have some weird things configured, and most likely no effect
any more, ~/.Xdefaults :
Netscape*documentFonts.sizeIncrement: 20 Netscape*documentFonts.xResolution*iso-8859-1: 100 Netscape*documentFonts.yResolution*iso-8859-1: 100
Yes, I did use Netscape once in the time

I don't have this file at all, created one like it but it seems to have
no effect. I don't think there's anything called Netscape in there
anymore.
T-Bird isn't the worst offender actually, Nedit and Syplpheed are.
Yes, I did use Netscape once in the time
So did I! It WAS the best thing going by far.

A long shot could be to just ignore the "Netscape" part, but I really
doubt that would give any change.

That is two applications I don't use, I did see something about that
they changed canvas painter in mozilla products, switching from away
from cairo to skia, this could in some cases give bad fonts, but
shouldn't affect other applications.

I liked 1.2 I think, mainly the newsgroups reader built in, later
version the messed it up and then that damn frames tag came and internet started to become a lot crappier :P
