I recently installed Slackware64-14 that comes with KDE-4.8.5 and QT-4.8.2. Everything is working perfectly except I noticed that the fonts on the application launcher, widgets, and panel, basically anything plasma related, are not respecting my my font subpixel rendering settings. Here are two screenshots to show what i mean, the first in a zoomed in pic of dolphin, as you can see the fonts have the correct color fringe for subpixel rendering, but the second is the application launcher, as you can see no subpixel rendering.

If anybody has any idea on how to fix that please let me know. BTW here is my .fonts.conf configuration file.

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba">

If you use 'plasmoidviewer' to start the kickoff applet, can you reproduce this behaviour?
