I assume (make an ass out of you and me…) that this has something to do with anti aliasing enabled on one system and disabled on the other. Maybe you can have a look at the font properties of KDE and compare these between the two desktops? For XFCE 4.8, this would be achieved via the ‘Fonts’ tab in xfce4-appearance-settings, a similar program exists for Gnome (at least 2.x, gnome-appearance-settings iirc) and I am sure something like this also exists for KDE. Especially have a look at the ‘advanced’ settings controlling subpixel rendering etc. What do you mean by ‘print on the monitor’? The virtual terminals reachable via Ctrl-Alt-Fx or, for example, konsole?
