Disable font hinting
by Flavio on Wednesday 12/Dec/2007, @00:04

Disabling font hinting when using antialias produces a much smoother font rendering much like OSX. Even Vera can look good without hinting.
Hinting can be disable in the KDE font settings or in your ~/.fonts.conf

I think distributions and KDE itself should consider this. It's almost 2008 and those lines made of a single pixel look like the 80s.
