As I said, (after updating to qt from unstable in testing) the only 'problem'
I'm aware of is that light of dark background don't look good with default
AA method. See konsole + AA yourself:

But I have no time to check if RENDER extenstion + qt provide a way
for konsole to switch AA methods.

Fixed here after updateing to qt from unstable. And even dselect looks
okay (see konsole-aa-rev.png above).

Only fixed width fonts were affected AFAIK tell (kmail had/has a workaround for it's
message window). Guess why (almost) only konsole looked bad ;)

You discover truth everytime you use it.
