I can confirm I get this exact problem. I did two clean installs on separate machines and as soon as I changed some appearance settings my fonts became blurry, especially in Konsole. I found that I have to remove the line "XftHintStyle=hintmedium" from the [General] section of ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals and delete the file .fonts.conf file to get the fonts to be clear again.

The only difference in my case is that if I go back to change any settings, .fonts.conf is written to, but kdeglobals is not. Also when .fonts.conf is altered afterwards my fonts are fine. This only seems to effect my machines after a clean install and I'm going in to change appearance settings for the first time. I've attached a comparison shot of before and after the fonts change.
