Solution

1. Open KDE Settings Manager

2. Then go to Application Appearence

3. Select Fonts section

4. change the Use anti-alialising option to Enabled

5. Then click Configure button.

6. In the new window, select Use subpixel-rendering and change the value to RGB

7. Change the hinting style to Slight.

8. Then remove the file .fonts.conf in your home folder. It is a hidden file. To see, that file in Kubuntu, Press Alt + . .

   Here is a screenshot of the settings window

That helped, but Helvetica and Roboto (default fonts in G+ and Facebook) still look like a dog's breakfast.
