Hi António: That was indeed an interesting result, which shows better asterisk alignment, but worse numerical character alignment. (See how the numerical labels for the vertical axes are not aligned properly with the major tick marks). The up side is there are no more tests to do since those would have only been worthwhile if you had had a perfect pdf result. I think the conclusion must be that vertical alignment issues not only persist but are much less consistent in 5.3.1 versus 5.2.1 so a simple Y offset does adjust for the 5.2.1 issues, but cannot deal with the variety of alignment issues for the asterisk versus numerical characters your examples shows for 5.3.1. That's disappointing, but hopefully these Qt5 character alignment issues and also the additional font issues you showed for the png result will get straightened out, and meanwhile you should fall back to using the reliable Qt4.
