Preparing to replace ktorrent 2.2.2.dfsg.1-1 (using .../ktorrent_3.3.4
+dfsg.1-1_amd64.deb)

If I go into System -> Preferences -> Appearance and select the Fonts
tab, all listed fonts are fontsize 12.

>From my reading of the problem it appears to be KDE-related, as ktorrent
appears tightly woven into KDE.  I use ktorrent but under a primarily
gnome-based sysetm, which may be the problem that some KDE component
which is required is missing.

See http://dvaey.homeip.net/fonts.jpg for example.  In the photo you can
see my gnome-panel menu and evolution use the same font size, while
ktorrent uses a smaller font.  Ive read on other forums to use kde tools
to change settings, however as I use gnome, I dont have the KDE control
panel installed.
