Back in the Qt4 / KDE 4 days, there was a similar bug in all Qt applications if
you used the native (X11) backend. If you switched to the raster backend, that
bug disappeared (but Plasma widgets were no longer anti-aliased). It was closed
because the native backend was deprecated, so we can't see how it was fixed.

It's visible in all fonts. Some fonts just have a design which makes bad
kerning less noticeable. 

I suspect changing the font setting in System Settings triggers a redraw which
renders text on a different code path, which is why the issue disappears if you
change the font in System Settings, then change it back to the original.
