Unusable kde fonts from upgrade from kubuntu jaunty to karmic

I just upgraded from kubuntu jaunty to karmic. During the process, I go a message about missing fonts, but didn't have a working Internet connection to let it get what it needed.

Now, when I start kde, the default font appears to be larger than 60 points making the whole desktop completely unusable (so I can't fix anything from within kde.)

During user login, I can select gnome and it has no problem, so I can get in and edit things, etc.

Where can I find a configuration file, etc. that will let me fix the font size that kde uses?

What fonts/resources am I missing that caused this and potentially other problems?

TIA

Joe

Partially fixed

Using gnome, I went into system settings->appearance->fonts and selected force 96 dpi.
Now, when I log into kde the fonts are fine.

The remaining problem is that the login splash screen still has the huge fonts and is unreadable.

Help with this would be appreciated.

TIA

Joe
