opensuse_13.1_kde_font_settings1.png

For a very long time (since openSUSE 11.x), my KDE font settings had been set
up to use Tahoma 8 as the main font, with enabled anti-aliasing and excluding
range 0.0-8.0. This resulted in beautiful fonts in all KDE and GTK apps (see
attached opensuse_13.1_kde_font_settings1.png file). 

Today I had upgraded to openSUSE 13.2 from 13.1. As a result, rendering of
Tahoma 8 has changed in all applications but Google Chrome (see attached
opensuse_13.2_kde_font_settings1.png file) and is very ugly compared to how it
was in 13.1. Looks like BCI is not used for font sizes in the excluded range. 

I have tried rebuilding the freetype2 package with  enable_subpixel_rendering
set to 1 to no avail, also tried changing BYTECODE_BW_MAX_PIXEL from 0 to 8 in
/etc/sysconfig/fonts-config to no avail as well.
