Review request for Plasma.


Repository: plasma-framework


Description
-------

we are using the native rendering everywhere for fonts, in order to have a crisp rendering.
however, does what hinting does, deforms the shapes.
in the case of password fields, where the echo is the big circle character, the circle gets aclually moved horizontally, having circles grouped two by two, rendring very bad.

Since is a circle woithout vertical or horizontal lines, it won't me more or less blurred with different rendring types.
using Qt rendering, the dots will look more aligned and equally spaced
