  1. Open KDE Settings Manager

  2. Then go to Application Appearence

  3. Select Fonts section

  4. change the Use anti-alialising option to Enabled

  5. Then click Configure button.

  6. In the new window, select Use subpixel-rendering and change the value to RGB

  7. Change the hinting style to Slight.

  8. Then remove the file .fonts.conf in your home folder. It is a hidden file. To see, that file in Kubuntu, Press Alt + . .

    Here is a screenshot of the settings window

  • That helped, but Helvetica and Roboto (default fonts in G+ and Facebook) still look like a dog's breakfast. May 25, 2014 at 19:03
  • Oh never mind, I had the "Exclude Range" checked. Unchecking that fixed everything! May 25, 2014 at 19:06
  • Holy crap did that ever improve things.

In your home folder, rename .fonts.conf to .fonts.conf.bak then log out. Log back in and the fonts in Firefox are good to go.
