Settings Before and After and Detailed and Annotated Comparison Screenshot of Rendering With and Without Anti-Alliasing

SUMMARY
***
KDE default document viewer incorrectly renders fonts, resulting in unsharp text and suboptimal (if unpleasant) experience leading to eyes strain.
***

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a PDF document with default settings and zoom.
2. Open the same document with anti-aliasing turned on and zoom to the same level.
3. Compare (see detailed and annotated comparison screenshot).

OBSERVED RESULT
Non sharp fonts and blurry text.

EXPECTED RESULT
Turn on anti-alias in Okular by default (see settings screenshot) for proper and sharp font rendering.

You like hinting? Enable it, that's why it's an option.
