According to the manufacturer's handbook for my monitor, the native 
resolution is 96x96, so I don't see why it should be forced. Back in 
the days, a few years ago, when we had to have xorg.conf to get our 
displays working properly, I always appended -dpi 96 to the X-Server 
line in kdmrc.

No. I am using Liberation.

Also, force fonts dpi is not recommended, according to the KDE help 
tip. I used to set it to 96dpi, but when I read that a year or so ago, 
I stopped forcing the font dpi. I never noticed a difference, since my 
hardware dpi is 96 anyway.
