It seems that this Qt version has hardcoded the generic type "Helvetica" as "Sans Serif". Helvetica is defined at /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-metric-aliases.conf as "Nimbus Sans L"
You can change it there or add to your ~/.fonts.conf the following stanzas:
Then refresh your font cache with fc-cache, restart your application and you should be watching a nice, crisp, hinted font.
Substitute Arial for the font of your choice. BEWARE: there are some consequences to this that I don't understand well because of font metrics and what not, read this bug for more information:
