It is not only a matter of packaging. Maybe XFree4 and QT are both compiled \
 with the RENDER extension. This enables you to use antialiased fonts, but \
you  are not forced to. If you switch to antialiased fonts, you won't get \
this  messages anymore, but the fonts usually have to be re-configuered in \
KDE  (->control center). You also should install some truetype fonts such \
as the  microsoft fonts.

If you don't want to do this, you simply leave the system as it is - there \
is  no problem with that. Just ignore the message.

Greetings,
eva
