I believe you need to have anti-aliased fonts installed first, e.g.
the fonts/ms-ttf package in pkgsrc.  I could be wrong, but that's what
I've always done first.  (I'm speaking as a NetBSD user, I don't use
Solaris.)

A Google search turned up the following link about Solaris, KDE, and
anti-aliased fonts:

Hope this helps,
