Review request for Plasma.


Changes
-------

Submitted with commit ae9cb77838aba7075826a1f444e75b9287ce6e74 by Marco Martin to branch master.


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
