Q: what can I do to make my own kdeglobals file the stock default

Usually you can place the same file into the respective global location:

$ kde-config --expandvars --install config

Not sure if this applies for kdeglobals as well, but you could try to
copy the
one of the current user to the above location and check if it is valid
for other users as long as they have no override values themselves.

Hi,

I tried what you suggested, e. g. place kdeglobals in some directory (for
example my home directory) and then issue 'kde-config --expandvars
--install config', but to no avail. Tried this as user as well as being
root.

I followed some other suggestion and tried qtconfig for default font type
and size configuration, but this didn't seem to work either.

Sorry, there is a misunderstanding. The given command does not install
anything it lists the directory where KDE's global configuration is
installed.
For example on my system at home it will print
/etc/kde3
on my system at work it will print
/usr/share/config

So you actually should try this as root:
$ cp kdeglobal $(kde-config --expandvars --install config)

Cheers,
Kevin
