What controls the font setting of plasmas?
After installing wine, and then quickly removing it, it seems fonts in plasmas are now too large. (Tried removing ~/.fontconfig).

Most fonts are governed by the settings in System Settings > Application Appearance > Fonts

And which one is used for the panel and notification plasma (I'm guessing all plasma are the same)?

wine-fonts is known to do install some aliases for some common microsoft fonts, and it may well be interfering with global fontconfig aliasing for common (and default) sans, serif, monospace as well.

But after doing yum history undo xxx
and all the font rpms were removed, I can't seem to find what got changed that is causing this.

You may need to restart your session after uninstalling wine-fonts

Restarted after removing .fontconfig. Most fonts are OK, just the panel and the plasma notification are too big.

I had been playing around with some font settings in the last 2 or 3 weeks.
I found that there is a lot of arcane stuff going on in /etc/fonts/conf.d. You might poke around in there and see it you need to add or remove a link to some fonts, like Rex said, possibly microsoft aliases for default fonts.
For starters, see if one of the links was created on the day you installed wine. Perhaps, with luck, it will be as simple as that. Then, you could remove the link temporarily and restart your X session, to see what changes occur, if any.
If the contents of the files themselves got changed, it will be much more difficult. It is arcane, as I said, and requires much patience, and can likely never be fully known ;-)

Well it's fixed now. And I don't exactly know what fixed it.
I guess my original question, never answered, is, which of the settings in systemsettings/application appearance/fonts controls the fonts shown in plasmas. I tried changing each, but this did not change plasmas (probably have to restart to see the change, which I didn't try).

Correct, plasma (and applets) require a restart to see changed fonts from systemsettings.
plasma uses various ones, depending on context, but generally mostly "general" and "small", and some applets use custom fonts.
