I am having a similar issue. Apparently the KDE applications are ignoring the hinting instructions in my .fonts.conf. The fonts in Konsole, for instance, look fuzzy, while the exact same DejaVu font in xterm looks sharp. If I edit my .fonts.conf to change "hinting" to "false", a new xterm is then fuzzy just like Konsole. However, a new Konsole instance looks exactly the same--that is, fuzzy. Thus it seems that KDE applications are not doing any hinting, regardless of what is in .fonts.conf. Please let me know if I can provide anything else.
