Hi, I would like just to ensure that I missed something and there is documentation somewhere informing that Linux fonts are rendered *always* in 72 dpi (https://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Set_Char_Size) (which makes font.pixelSize inaccurate for regular screens).
I found: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-8890 which fixes the problem but it was rejected. I see the default 72 dpi is also used in current Qt 5.11 FT engine (https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtbase/src/platformsupport/fontdatabases/freetype/qfontengine_ft.cpp.html#297). Does it surprise any of Qt developers or is it only me? Am I right thinking that when we do following: Rectangle { height: 100 Text {font.pixelSize: 100} } then the relation between height of text and height of rectangle will differ depending on screen dpi (don't have a way to test it currently)? Moreover I'm pretty sure that's the cause I very often use Text.fontSizeMode: Text.Fit because setting pixelSize to height of desired text size never worked correctly :) tl;dr: Is it a bug? _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
