Sorry, from previous replies I now see that you are using a Linux version 
of PuTTY so all bets may be off in respect of above :-)

You mentioned that you chose PuTTY because the font size (in your KDE 
konsole) is too small to read?   If so you may be able to get a 
satisfactory font size by adjusting the settings in the konsole itself, and 
reverting to the use of konsole rather than PuTTY.   Apologies if you've 
Been There and Done That (tm)   With konsole on display click Settings, 
Font and choose one to suit.   This should be persistent over sessions but 
I don't know if it then applies globally or only on a konsole-by-konsole 
basis.   You can also adjust (Settings, Size) the overall size of the 
display window which might be a help, too.

The other thought, if screen fonts are generally way too small, would be to 
suspect that you have a very high resolution display mode in use and that 
the X FontPath set in your XF86Config file selects , say, the 75dpi font 
ahead of the 100dpi font.   Better not to get too deeply into that here in 
case I'm way off track :-)

HTH,
