So we need at least some bits of this, anyway. We can only set the font face and size, but not the hinting method. We'll also need to fiddle with the fontpathes in startkde, that can't be done (sensibly) in frameworksintegration.

I've now moved the face and size setting to frameworksintegration and equipped the oxygen-fonts repo with the necessary cmake foo. I'll update this patch for the necessary work shortly.
