I think I see the problem. You pay for the //possibility// to have scaling with unhinted fonts. I am pretty sure that that isn't an acceptable way of handling it. Most Linux desktop fonts are intended to be used with some hinting (slight hinting usually?). QHighDpiScaling::isActive() returns true even when the scale factor is 1.0 as in my case. Looks like a Qt bug to me. diff --git a/src/platformsupport/fontdatabases/fontconfig/qfontconfigdatabase.cpp b/src/platformsupport/fontdatabases/fontconfig/qfontconfigdatabase.cpp index e28b40c240..05bd01f158 100644 --- a/src/platformsupport/fontdatabases/fontconfig/qfontconfigdatabase.cpp +++ b/src/platformsupport/fontdatabases/fontconfig/qfontconfigdatabase.cpp @@ -611,7 +611,7 @@ QFontEngine::HintStyle defaultHintStyleFromMatch(QFont::HintingPreference hintin } if (QHighDpiScaling::isActive()) - return QFontEngine::HintNone; + return QFontEngine::HintNone; // NNNNOOOOOOO int hint_style = 0; if (FcPatternGetInteger (match, FC_HINT_STYLE, 0, &hint_style) == FcResultMatch) { @@ -908,7 +908,7 @@ QFont QFontconfigDatabase::defaultFont() const void QFontconfigDatabase::setupFontEngine(QFontEngineFT *engine, const QFontDef &fontDef) const { bool antialias = !(fontDef.styleStrategy & QFont::NoAntialias); - bool forcedAntialiasSetting = !antialias || QHighDpiScaling::isActive(); + bool forcedAntialiasSetting = !antialias || QHighDpiScaling::isActive(); // NNNNOOOOOOO const QPlatformServices *services = QGuiApplicationPrivate::platformIntegration()->services(); bool useXftConf = false; REPOSITORY R120 Plasma Workspace REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D26185 To: ahartmetz, #plasma, apol, davidedmundson Cc: asturmlechner, dfaure, davidedmundson, anthonyfieroni, plasma-devel, LeGast00n, The-Feren-OS-Dev, jraleigh, zachus, fbampaloukas, GB_2, ragreen, ZrenBot, ngraham, alexeymin, himcesjf, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol, ahiemstra, mart
