I had installed the KDE4 Systemsettings app, from there I copied the same
settings than GTK.
It worked once but after rebooting I got the same ugly font defaults.

I don't think we will ever enable full hinting system wide. The only
font in our repository which can profit from full hinting right now is

Well, first, you're using a commercial font for comparison, which
renders particularly well with slight hinting, other fonts do not fare
as well. Also, are you using a non-standard size as well? 9pt?
