 Well, you selected to enable anti-aliasing, so it did so.

 Actually, rather font selection should probably work like anti-aliasing and 
be global.

 I'd expect this to be a bug in those applications. If those applications 
disable it selectively only for themselves, how can a global configuration 
affect this for them then?

 Since it's done using fontconfig, probably not. There could be some 
additional code for explicitly checking this, but I don't see the point of 
bothering with making this KDE-only.
