Tell me please is it possible to set font sizes in fontconfig? I've
configured hinting, rendering and antialiasing settings system-wide

default are 9 or 10, and java apps are 11 or 12. I'd like to configure
those settings system-wide...
In this case the problem could rather be that all those toolkits have
their own understanding of the default font size, which they already
supply to fontconfig when looking up their font.
It is certainly possible to map all pixel sizes between say, 8 and 12 of
a particular font to a single size using fontconfig, thus overriding
what applications provide, but I don't think that's very wise, since it
will also affect places where fonts shouldn't be altered (e. g. Firefox
window content).
Toolkits normally check a few places for font settings -- for example
(but probably not limited to):
(1) XSETTINGS
(2) System-wide toolkit-specific config files (qtrc, gtkrc -- the latter
also for the Java GTK L&F). Note: this will use theme-specific config,
if a theme is set in XSETTINGS.
(3) User's toolkit-specific config files (same but in home directory)
(4) App-specific config files (for example, Firefox supports CSS files)
(5) User's app-specific config files (same but in home directory)
Toolkit configuration can also be overridden with environment variables
like GTK2_RC_FILES.
Your best bet might be a GTK/Qt theme integration package. AFAIK most
KDE-based distributions used to have such a thing, but I admit I have
little experience with KDE. If you already use one and it doesn't work,
well, then I guess some trussing and file-editing is in order :) or
asking somewhere where the KDE gurus lurk..
