Hi,
that's an old problem and it's just partially KDE-specific. Some things have
to be right to make this problem go away:
- KDE/QT Antialiasing (the setting you described)
- /etc/fonts/local.conf shouldn't interfere, look at it
- font databases built with fc-cache -f
Font support is always on the move (think of LCD displays which need other
antialiasing settings than usual monitors) and this will always bring
hazards. I think KDE/QT has its own support for antialiasing to make things
easier, but this didn't always work out well.
