Apparently the issue i'm having is not something you folks observe.
So here are screenshots. Mind you, I've deliberately taken those under
openbox with no KDE_SESSION environment variables set. It's a clean openbox
session under a clean user.

And to make it even more fun, this is under a vmware session, not my
regular desktop. So i definitely isn't "just my desktop" with this issue.
It's much broader then that.

With Noto package installed (NO settings changed anywhere, just the package
installed):

Without Noto package:

You can quite clearly see that the noto package adds a lot of extra spacing.
If that wasn't bad enough, it's also slightly offset from the top. Meaning
the font is not exactly in the middle of the area where it should be, but
slightly lower then the middle.

That is what i see and what i can't stand!
