DPI is  vally of tears.

You can set your preferred DPI value in ~/.trinity/share/config/kcmfonts: forceFontDPI=96

There's also a DPI setting in ~/.trinity/share/config/startupconfig, but it's commented out on my system:
# kcmfonts General forceFontDPI 0

Anyway, DIP different than 96 will notdo what you want fpr bitmapped fonts (if you have bitmapped fonts enabled).
