This from another forum may help

In some applications like firefox, thunderbird and easytag the fonts do not 
respond to the kde control center. If you install gnome-control-center using 
synaptic these font sizes can be changed. However on restarting your computer 
the changes are lost. This means a symbolic link between the settings and kde 
autostart is required. So in a terminal type 
lxuser at 1[~]$ gnome-font-properties
Setup font sizes then
lxuser at 1[~]$ ln -s /usr/lib/control-center/gnome-settings-daemon 
~/.kde/Autostart/ 
The above works for 6.0, any problems would revolve around the symlink paths 
which can be resolved using the find function.
 This is a method which has been used in Suse for awhile.

Debian Hint #23: If you want to change the module settings for Linux
kernels in the 2.4 series (found in /etc/modules.conf, or /etc/chandev.conf
on the s390 architecture), edit the files in /etc/modutils and run
'update-modules'. For Linux kernels in the 2.6 series, edit the files in
/etc/modprobe.d instead (no additional utility is required; these are read
directly by modprobe).
