No font anti-aliasing in Plasma5 -current after update from -14.2


I just upgraded one of my desktops from 14.2 to current with multilib. The upgrade seemed to go without a hitch, I downloaded the current iso, upgraded all packages on the iso (except xfce), upgraded slackpkgplus, ran slackpkg clean-system and then reinstalled multilib and compat32.

Good news: I can start plasma from sddm and using startx, for both X11 and Wayland. But it looks really awful. No matter what setting I try, the fonts seem to remain very ugly, and the whole desktop looks pixelated on my HD monitor.

See picture here: http://floorenpj.xs4all.nl/slackware...ugly_fonts.png

Does anyone else see this? And have a solution?

Incidentally, also see where the oxygen theme puts a right-pointing arrow in the systems settings where it should be pointing left...
