Hi António: From that thread, the visual results were checked both by Andrew (an official Qt5.2.0 package either from Ubuntu or Debian) and me (a Qt5.2.1 version I built myself with epa_build). There were some vertical offset issues with characters (much like you currently see with your pdf version), and it is possible when fixing those that I compensated for a bug in Qt5.2.x that is solved for the latest Qt5 (5.3.1). I only took a quick look at your pdf results, and they looked fine to me outside the vertical offset issues for the asterisk character. Is that a good summary of the problems there, or is there something else I missed? Your png results look much worse than your pdf results. That is unusual and normally indicates some problems with the Qt5 library. I suspect you are trying some Qt5 version older than 5.2.0. If so, please update to the latest (Qt5.3.1), and if you continue to see some problems for that case (or that is already what you are reporting) I will download and try that version myself to see if it is possible to replicate any issues you have found. When you reply, please indicate your OS (Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows) as well as the Qt5 version you are using. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
