Comparison of font rendering between kwrite and gedit

Description of problem:
The font rendering in KDE/Qt apps looks like freetype byte-code interpreter
(BCI) is not enabled, while gtk apps renders fonts as BCI enabled. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
freetype-2.4.4-4.fc15.x86_64
qt-4.7.2-8.fc15.x86_64


How reproducible: every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable full hinting in KDE system settings
2. Open kwrite and gedit; select DejaVu Sans 12 as editor font in both
3. Open the same file in both editors

Actual results:
font rendering in kwrite (both menu and contents) looks like BCI not enabled
(poor hinting); while in gedit, BCI looks as working.

This difference applies to all Qt applications (KDE and non-KDE) and all
Gtk-based applications.


Expected results:
BCI enabled in both Qt and Gtk-based applications

Additional info:
I was using Fedora 15 RC3 downloaded from
http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/15.RC3/Fedora/x86_64/iso/
