Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdegraphics

Fonts rendered in okular in dvi and pdf documents either need anti-aliasing or subpixel hinting turned on to look nice again. PDF rendering in evince looks fantastic, though dvi rendering in evince looks "blurry".

I didn't use Jaunty, so I don't know how recent the regression is. Both kdvi and evince render the documents correctly in Hardy, though.
