1) xrdb -query | grep -i xft

Make sure it looks like this:

Xft.antialias:  1
Xft.hinting:    1
Xft.hintstyle:  hintslight
Xft.lcdfilter:  lcddefault
Xft.rgba:       rgb

2) echo "Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault" > ~/.Xresources

3) Reboot

4) Go to your font settings (or apply the same echo commands). 
   In KDE Neon, I used this for a 1080p screen:

All fonts: Noto Sans 9pt
Fixed width: Hack 9pt
Small: Noto Sans 7pt
Anti-Aliasing: Enable
Excluded range: Disabled
Sub-pixel rendering: RGB
Hinting: Slight
No forced DPI

Enjoy pixel-perfect fonts like in Windows!!!

New (better) settings:

All fonts: Tahoma 9pt
Fixed width: Consolas 9pt
Small: Tahoma 7pt
Anti-Aliasing: Enable
Excluded range: Disabled
Sub-pixel rendering: RGB
Hinting: Slight
No forced DPI

This makes it all look almost like Windows. 
You can get the Consolas and Tahoma fonts from your 
Windows installation and put it in ~/.fonts
