For a while now, I’ve been running Kubuntu x64 on this shiny Dell D820 laptop. It runs at quite a high resolution for a laptop (1920×1200), and the Nvidia drivers try to be smart by increasing the font dpi. This has the knock on effect of making the fonts ugly and large. It can be countered with a simple tweak to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Option "UseEdidDpi" "FALSE"
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
Once that’s done, save your file, exit X, and restart X. Alternatively you can restart your computer.
