Broken fonts in QT apps while launched via gnome-shell

Hello guys.

I lately reported troubles with some qt apps (scribus, speedcrunch, clementine). Fonts in these apps are broken. I reported this in issue below, you can checkout sshots there:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32958

I have also find out that while launching these apps from terminal and bash shell, fonts work as they should. Can anyone experience this or have some idea how to:

1. remove issue totally
2. somehow create .desktop file to launch app in same environment as from bash shell and lock that .desktop file in gnome shell dock ?

I only have one qt app installed ATM on my gnome arch install (smplayer) and haven't seen any of these issues

EDIT: no issue with clementine either...http://i.imgur.com/wyfhlzN.png

Re: Broken fonts in QT apps while launched via gnome-shell

Could it be some sort of freetype/fontconfig related issue? Because on my system I'm using freetype2-infinality and fontconfig-infinality from the aur. Thats the only thing i can think of.
