Ah yes that is a Qt thing IIRC. Fedora did extensive tracking of hint
problems with Qt 5 so they might have input on this. But generally Qt
<=5.3 at least has extreme problems with RGB hinting and actively
ignores the fontconfig hint flags which is possibly what you see
there. There's a bunch of bug reports in Qt's jira with regards to
hinting problems.

Qt 5.4 ought to arrive on the ISO possibly next week, so we should be
able to directly compare improvements then. Or so I hope :)
