Due to instability with this version of Qt, Qt's font anti-aliasing was
disabled. This is done in /etc/profile.d/qt.{csh,sh}

I noticed that as well. I believe it was accidental, however as I'm sure
you've noticed XF4 seems quite capable of rendering fonts on its own now. :)
I simply disabled xfs. I do not know if or how this could affect font
anti-aliasing.
On important note for Gnome users: for some reason, Gnome is more susceptible
to Font path order than KDE. In particular, the 100dpi fonts are listed
before their 75dpi equivalents. This can result in oversized fonts. The fix
(which is already in the installer source) is to swap the 100dpi and 75dpi
lines in /etc/X11/XF86Config.
