Ugly fonts in KDE :-/

Hi there,

I've just recently re-compiled freetype with support for truetype-hinting and this brought virual improvements to all GTK applications. They look like I ever wanted them to look.
I use the DeJaVu fonts shipped out of the box with fedora.

However only GTK/Gnome looks that great, KDE still has those strange ugly fonts it has some distros decided to disable font hinting because of evil Adobe (or was it Apple).

I already installed the DeJaVu Fonts in KDE's Control Center and adjusted everything exactly as within GNOME, however there are still visible differences.
Because image uploads seem to be frobidden I uploaded a screenshot as my avatar - up is kde, bottom GTK.

It would be great if someone would have an idea why this could be ...

Thank you in advance, lg Clemens
