I posted a few screenshots above to show how bad the situation is :D
They compare all the text rendering related antialiasing settings that Qt offers with the native text rendering algorithm (on the right in all screenshots)
The fontSize of the strings are the ones provided by the current Ubuntu UI Toolkit
Unity8 version is 8.11+16.04.20160122-0ubuntu1
The laptop is running the latest Xenial packages as of today 26th Jan 2016
The hardware is Dell Vostro 3550 (1366x768 screen)
Antialiasing is probably too much for low-dpi screens, and it ends up almost deleting letters while trying to smooth them out.
