Huge font/DPI on Splash Screen

When booting Fedora 9, the font size/resolution/DPI is simply enormous. The progress bar is way out of proportions as well.

Here is an image to illustrate the issue:
Splash Screen Bug
EDIT:
Another Image:


Once the boot process is complete, and I'm presented with the login screen, the fonts are back to normal, and everything works fine as long as I'm using GNOME. If I switch to KDE, most parts of itss interface (like system settings, and etc) suffer the same effect as the splash screen.
Another important thing to note is that whenever I hopelessly try to navigate to the "Detailed" part of Look and Feel -> Appearance ->Fonts, the System Settings application hangs, and I'm forced to close it.

I've so far not encountered the issue while running a GNOME session.

The question is, what does the Splash Screen and KDE have in common?
I have also tried a fresh install without KDE being installed from the beginning, but this did not resolve the issue. So I assume that KDE itself is not the problem here, but rather some common resource/config that both the Splash Screen and KDE uses.

what is your graphics card ,desktop or laptop ( can not tell from photo)
this may be different in fedora 9 so ?
look in System / Administration / Display
----- or -----
System / Preferences / Hardware / Screen Resolution
and see what they are set at , it should be at least 800x600 or 1024x768

This is a HP Compaq nx7400.
Hardware Specs

System / Preferences / Hardware / Screen Resolution
This one shows the correct resolution that I'm currently running, which is the native 1280x800.

System / Administration / Display
This one on the other hand only shows 3 non-widescreen resolutions: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768.
