            Bug ID: 336321
           Summary: fonts do not use subpixel hinting sometimes
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.13.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
               URL: http://i.imgur.com/m5LgvJK.png
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: protserovsd at gmail.com

As you can see on the screenshot, in Muon package list, KRunner output window
and in Kickstarter menu fonts are a bit blured, while in other programs they
look fine. I can get this result globally if I disable subpixel hinting (rgb)
in fonts settings. So, some KDE applications do not respect my Subpixel Hinting
settings. They are also set in /etc/fonts/conf.d/.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable Subpixel Hinting (rgb) in fonts configuration
2. Open Kickstarter menu, Muon or type a query in Krunner (Alt+F2)
3. Look at the fonts
Actual Results:  
Fonts look like in other applications and they use Subpixel Hinting

Expected Results:  
They seem to ignore Subpixel Hinting settings.

I also noticed, that in some distros (for example, Gentoo) with Xfce, KDE or
pure WM GTK-applications ignore subpixel hinting. Probably, there are some
relations?
