Thank-you, This tip really worked. Indeed the package freefont contains many fonts which have antialiasing suport, but it seems that one has to add dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont" in the file /etc/X11/XftConfig to make them available to KDE. There is somehting strange in that, even without adding this line to XftConfig they were available to X as xlsfonts showed but to no use to KDE.
