With KDE 4.x in Mandrivas before 2011 and Mageia, KDE system fonts and 
sizes can be changed via System Settings. The same may be true of 
Mandriva 2011 - I haven't tried it.

I use the Theme Font and Size Changer extension with Firefox and 
Thunderbird to change menu and dialog box fonts. For display fonts I 
usually just use Ctrl+ to temporarily magnify the whole thing, because I 
usually want the graphics bigger in that case, too.
