The upgrade to qt5.14.0 in mid-to-late December broke some functionality in Kalarm. It used to be that when kalarm launched, it would pick up all the same font and style settings I had set for all my KDE and QT apps. Now it picks up the style settings, and perhaps the font name & size too. But the anti-aliased settings are ignored. So even though I disable anti-aliasing everywhere, kalarm still displays the font anti-aliased. This problem seems to be limited to kalarm, and does not seem to happen with other KDE and QT apps. (If you look at the screenshot at http://darose.net/Screenshot_2020-01-08_16-58-43.png you can see that kalarm renders using anti-aliasing, while kinfocenter and qps do not.) Downgrading all the qt5 packages back down to 5.13.2 eliminates the problem.

Additional info:
* kalarm 19.12.0-1
This task depends upon

We are not modifying the package in any way, so please report this upstream. Check with a clean user first to make sure it's not a configuration issue.
