Yes, it worked for me too and now that bold fonts are definetely gone away I
can clearly see what Antonio was referring to, bad subpixel positioning in QT
4.8.
I've tried to play a bit with infinality-settings.sh but I can't reproduce the
QT 4.7 font rendering in Kubuntu with QT 4.8...

Good question, the main problem for Kubuntu users is QT not being able to
handle properly the recently grown up ubuntu font family.
But even if they can fix this, QT 4.8 are unable to reproduce the exact font
rendering hintslight we were used to until QT 4.7.

Again, it should be good to hear opinions from some of the developers here.
