[Bug 921555]

[swerk]

Comment #21 has it right!  Until this gets fixed, I use this hacky
little script, anytime after KDE has started, and the nasty subpixel
rendering in plasma/kwin goes away:

#!/bin/sh
killall plasma-desktop
killall kwin
plasma-desktop &
kwin &

I don't know how those apps are managing to ignore every font config
file in my system, or why they are then suddenly honored later in the
KDE startup process.  I also think it's very rude for any application to
default to subpixel rendering, which even on LCDs looks awful.  Whatever
optical illusion the technique relies on is incompatible with my eyes,
and I'm not the only one.
