Qt-4.5.0 still is deliberately convoluting the glyphs generated by libfreetype with a triangel-filter, bluring the glyphs and generating colored fringes at stems. (Examples can be seen at http://www.forwiss.uni-passau.de/~berberic/QT3-4-font.png and with 400% magnification at http://www.forwiss.uni-passau.de/~berberic/QT3-4-font-400.png)
This not only makes fonts blury – especially on low resolution display – but also has the effect of making mixed toolkit environments (which is quite normal X11) patchy, because Qt4- and KDE-4-applications will look “different”. And of course it's definitely not the job of a toolkit to botch around with glyphs generated by the font-subsystem (here: libfreetype). As Trolltech/Nokia obstinately refuses to fix this problem for ages (see http://www.qtsoftware.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?method=entry&id=195256%3E?) the only way to get decent glyph-rendering in Debian is to fix this by patch. Patch will follow.
