printing? Do they also suffer from the same problem?

This probably won't have much effect on font rendering. I seem to remember
that this was a subject of confusion on the qt-interest mailing list.

Thanks for the version information! I assume you're running Linux, or some
Unix that uses X11 as its display system, since you're using a font server.
