Hm. Try running "fc-cache" as root, and as user, _before_ starting up KDE.
This will recreate the font cache that fontconfig/xft/... use for display.
If your KDM login window takes very long (>3sec) to appear this might be the
problem, as it does affect other apps as well, especially the startup time.
