Can you explain me why this has been set as duplicate?

Title is clear about the hinting, not subpixel hinting like 501715

Comment 6 Nate Graham 2025-04-11 14:49:50 UTC

Same underlying issue: Plasma components ignore these font settings.

But in my case krunner is even different from text in start menu or task manager or clock.
So I think it deserves its own bug... why not?
