Hello

I have an issue with the fonts off apps which are based Qt4.  I attached an 
png where the "File" menubar entry at
   (left to right): gtk+ - kde3 - kde4 - Qt4
apps is shown.

As you see the fonts of gtk and kde3 are same.  The kde4 and qt4 fonts are the 
same too. 

Please focus on the "F"s in "File".  The "F" of gtk/kde3 are plain lines, 
since no curves are involved.  The "F" pf kde4/qt4 has something like 
shadows, which results in a blurry look.

Currently I'm running arch-linux, but I saw the behavior on previous gentoo 
and debian installations when I played with qt4.

The screenshots which are placed at the kde4 programming tutorials show that 
there must be a way do make the fonts in kde4 behave like those in kde3

Just zoom and pan to "File" and compare with the screenshot I provided.

My $HOME/.fonts.conf is attached.  The font I'm using is Bitstream Vera Sans

Thanks in advance,
 -- Maik
