I think the problem is that now Emacs takes fontconfig defaults into account.
That means that it uses hintslight (i.e. very little hinting). You probably
have set (or KDE sets) hintmedium or hintfull.
When I run Kubuntu 9.10, I get hintslight on all apps, KDE and Emacs. I have
changed so Emacs defaults to hintmedium if XSETTINGS aren't found, as is the
case for KDE (unless xsettings-kde is installed).
