Font size after upgrade to 24

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

after the recent upgrade to emacs 24.1 (ArchLinux / KDE) my font size
is too large (one times C-x C-minus corrects it temporarily for the
buffer). The menu font size is fine, the rest (buffer, mode line,
minibuffer is too large). I've read about the various ways to set the
font size.

Is there a specific reason why the font size has increased after the
update? And thus a global way to correct it?

Thanks,

Florian
