Differences in font configuration between Gnome and KDE
Hi, I'd like to build Qt-Creator against Qt5 for F21+, however I dislike the way Qt5 apps render fonts under KDE and am therefore hesitant to push the update, see [1] for a screenshot comparing the font rendering Qt4 (left) vs Qt5 (right) on KDE. Not the actual question: I've tested the same Qt5 build on Gnome, and oddly enough, there fonts look okay! So I was wondering, is there any tool which dumps the active font configuration (I guess that would be the Xft parameters?), so that I can find out what is causing the bad rendering on KDE? There's also a bug report on the issue, see [2].

That looks a lot like 'medium' hinting (left) vs 'slight' (right). KDE has a knob for everything, it must have a knob for font hinting somewhere...try twiddling that to see if you can get it to match? I tried all hinting levels, and couldn't spot any difference (on KDE). -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
