You are comparing apples and oranges. xterm in your configuration seems 
to be using a bitmap font via X core font protocol. This is a valid 
configuration, although the book configures it to use a TrueType font 
via XFT with antialiasing. Konqueror prefers XFT, but seems to fall back 
to non-antialiased fonts.

Impossible to say without actually looking at your setup. Please provide 
the following information:

1) The same screenshot with any GTK2 application added (to distinguish 
between "miscompiled qt" and "misconfigured fontconfig").

2) The output of "fc-list".

3) Tar up the contents of /etc/fonts and attach.

4) Attach xorg.conf.
