Basically, if you have AA, you have only AA, and the default font sucks big 
time. You can change the font to a custom one, and pick a decent monospaced 
one. I use Lucida Console.

Alternatively, you can turn AA off for particular apps by setting the environ 
variable QT_XFT to 0 before running something.
eg; From a Konsole (assuming (t)csh):

  setenv QT_XFT 0
  konsole

It's a bit of a pain, but it works if you're desperate to just turn off AA 
for a particular app.
