[Bug 83040] Re: fonts aren't properly hinted in KDE applications

[Bogdan Butnaru]

OK, so here's a screenshot. To the left is a Gnome terminal, notice how
fonts are well-rendered. Also, the window decorations are drawn by GTK,
notice they're well-hinted on all windows.

Compare with the fonts inside the KDE Control Center window. Try a 400x
zoom on the image (don't use a smooth zoom, use something that can show
you the pixels). See how the F's or the H's look dirty or blury (the
vertical and horizontal lines are not aligned with the pixers).

Also, notice how the Monospace font is well-rendered. I don't know why
that happens. I tried it at different sizes and it's always correctly-
hinted.

As far as I know, I use the exact same fonts in gnome (though it's
called just "Sans" in Gnome's font dialog, not "Sans serif").

Let me know what other info I can give.
