Hi.
I installed KDE on a virtual arch machine, but the font is ugly. I searched but not founded the soulotion.
It's a screenshot of the ugly font in "Arch Linux + KDE":

In other distros, I have not any problem. It's a screenshot of "Chakra Linux + KDE":

What's your fonts setting in systemsettings-application appearance( or some other appearance, I don' t remember exactly)?

It's default settings (Sans Serif) and anti-aliasing is enabled in two distros The settings in Arch and Chakra is Equal but the result is Different.

Try this font configuration:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit name="antialias" mode="assign">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<edit name="hinting" mode="assign">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign">
<const>hintslight</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<edit name="rgba" mode="assign">
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter">
<const>lcddefault</const>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
Paste that into '.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf' and restart KDE, you might also want to look at: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration
Edit: and also make sure the font configuration in the KDE settings manager is the same as above.

Oh!
Update: It's solved on my virtual machine, it was exists ~/config/fontconfig/fonts.conf file on the virtual machine and I edited it.
but on my real machine, It's not exists. I created it and copied your code on it, but my problem not solved in my real machine.
In virtual machin solved, In real machine not solved

Ok. It's Solved. the fons.conf is located on ~/.font.conf
You must install these packages:
pacman -S ttf-dejavu ttf-liberation

Thanks so much, I pasted it into ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf, nothing else was necessary. And I got rid of these ugly fonts. Thanks!
Wonder why the default setting is a totally ugly font? Or with other words, wonder why this is not standard in Arch Linux, or why it is not sufficient/possible to do this in the KDE settings manager->fonts...

Fresh install of ArchLinux with Plasma 5.6.
Above method doesn't work anymore. Now do
~/.Xresources
Xft.autohint: 0
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.rgba: rgb

@strawberryfields,
please open a new thread for your problem. Link back to this thread if necessary.
Nevermind, I see that you managed to solve it. Please don't bump old threads in any case.
