I thought it was solved - the fonts looked much better than before but they are still not crisp.
The only thing I could find in .kde was .kde/share/config/kcmfonts:
[General]
dontChangeAASettings=true
forceFontDPI=0
So where else might the settings be?
I suppose I could put up with them and wait until a clean install of 12.04
