Fonts in KDE4: how to customize in a human way?

All my life before that I sat on gnome (ubuntu, arch) and now it took a person to install kubuntu. Delivered, everything is in order, except for one thing: the fonts are terrible. And when you look at them, you feel discomfort. I tried: change DPI, anti-aliasing and font appearance from ubuntu to droider and dejavu. Does not help.

I came across the topic Let's make fonts in KDE 4 beautiful , it didn't help.

I understand that the point is that in Ubuntu everything is properly patched there, and KDE uses other libraries and everything is bad there.

Is there any clear manual on this topic? Besides, I understand that Russian fonts are a separate story?

Just in case: the resolution is 1900 by 1200, i.e. large LCD monitor.

Show a screenshot. It will be clear how bad things are.
I'll post a screenshot of my KDE tomorrow if it's relevant. The way my fonts look is fine with me.

Although the question is old, but relevant. On my "arch" I made the following changes:
1. Made changes in the file ~/.gtkrc-2.0 :

gtk-theme-name="oxygen-gtk"
gtk-icon-theme-name="oxygen"
gtk-font-name="DejaVu Sans Book 10"

2. Created a ~/.Xresources file with the following content:
Xft.dpi:        96.0
Xft.hinting:    true
Xft.hintstyle:  hintslight
Xft.antialias:  true
Xft.rgba:       none

Taken from here . But these manipulations did not bring any effect.
3. In the file ~/.fonts.conf add a section:
<match target="font">
  <edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter">
   <const>lcddefault</const>
  </edit>
 </match>

4. In the file ~/.Xdefaults :
Taken from here . The last 2 points helped, even without restarting "X's". Restarting firefox, the effect immediately became visible.
