Hmm, the problem went away with a different antialias setting. I had to turn on sub-pixel hinting (Xft.rgba: rgb), and crank up hinting style to "full". When playing around with these settings, it turns out that the above setting is the default in Xft/freetype, if you don't have any Xft X resources or any .fonts.conf. The KDE default, however, seems to be no sub-pixel hinting, and hinting style "medium". This is confusing, because if you don't change the setting at all in KDE, you will stay with the Xft/freetype default (which was the best for me), but if you just open the font setting dialog in the KDE control center, _without changing anything_, your setting _will_ change to the KDE default. Hmm, I think that the KDE default is wrong!
